MASA Feature www.gomasa.org 13 we created a four-year teaching plan to assist in the progression of modeling and developing our student leaders. Results and Future Connections As a result of this group, we are now developing a strategy to take this teaching to a new group of 15 in our high school, as well as to a group in our middle school. The original 15 will be learning about their strengths and how to use them to lead others, as well as teaching the middle school students what they learned this past year. We will teach the new high school group how they too can learn through their own mistakes and failures. Our ultimate goal is to get our students to walk with others in helping them learn from their failures. We want to help young people understand that they are significant in life and that a mistake or failure does not disqualify them from being a leader or successful. In fact, the mistake or failure has the potential to make them a great person and leader for the future. This is a promising opportunity for the students at St. Louis Public Schools and our community.
