Book of the month: Using student publication to learn lessons on leadership

Becoming a leader can be a challenging process. In Inside Out, student writers at the Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies offer thoughtful and compassionate reflections on their experiences as peer leaders. Through personal narratives, these young authors reflect on how to achieve success in a negative environment, how to navigate the journey to adulthood, and more.

Perhaps most importantly, they invite us to critically reflect on our perceptions, understandings, and assumptions about what it means to be both a teenager and a leader.
