It is meant to be a sort of notebook for adults to use to gather information--there are many pages included the book for jotting down ideas and notes. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                     &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;The book begins with a short overview of leadership and leadership education.&amp;nbsp;The author discusses what youth leadership is (both youth theories of leadership and adult theories of leadership), current trends in youth leadership, and various leadership issues particularly relevant to adolescents. The book guides program leaders through the different steps of program development, including assessing objectives, building a foundation, designing a program, selecting curriculum, determining reasonable outcomes, and evaluating outcomes. Also included are helpful lists of ideas, activities, and worksheets that have been tested in different youth leadership programs.&amp;nbsp; The book ends with a listing of additional books, organizations, websites, conferences, and professional development opportunities that will be of interest to practitioners involved in youth leadership programs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                     &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why&amp;nbsp; does FASTEN recommend this resource?&lt;br /&gt;                                     &lt;br /&gt;                                     &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                     &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;This guide book is practical, easy to use, and would be helpful with many different kinds of approaches to youth leadership--it is not geared towards building one certain type of program.&amp;nbsp; It is also ideal for the programs at different stages (design phase, growth phase, evaluation phase). This is also a good resource for anyone wanting to understand more about youth leadership--what kinds of attitudes, skills, and perspectives are unique to youth. The suggested activities, resource lists, and checklist of components of successful programs is valuable for both veteran and new practitioners.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

a curriculum that introduces students to leadership concepts and offers them various experiences designed to build leadership skills. It is geared towards helping youth explore, practice, and understand their philosophy of leadership in a school or community setting. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                                             &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Arial,Helvetica&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;The fourteen, 90-minute lessons each contain lesson goals, materials needed, class outline, activities and a guide for reflection/debriefing. Lesson topics range from the qualities of leadership, gender differences in leadership, and decision-making to tolerance and diversity, creative thinking and influence.&amp;nbsp; The curriculum includes many checklists, quizzes, worksheets, and questions for self-reflection. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                                             &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Arial,Helvetica&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why&amp;nbsp; does FASTEN recommend this resource?&lt;br /&gt;                                                             &lt;br /&gt;                                                             &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                                             &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Arial,Helvetica&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;Verdana&quot;&gt;This curriculum is particularly flexible and adaptable for many different settings.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;It is intended for high school students, but could be simplified for junior high students or modified for college-age students. &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;It is practical, easy to use and gets students engaged through hands-on activities. This curriculum is distinct from others FASTEN has found because it covers such issues as gender differences in leadership and how to use power, influence and authority.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                                                                            &lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;iquest;Qui&amp;eacute;n ha tenido la mayor influencia en su vida&amp;mdash;positivamente o negativamente&amp;mdash;acerca del asunto de prejuicio?&lt;/li&gt;

                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Es llamado &lt;em&gt;el&amp;aacute;stico &lt;/em&gt;porque cuando somos honestos con nosotros mismos, a menudo encontramos que necesitamos estir&amp;aacute;rnos fuera de nuestra zona de comodidad a fin de crecer en el entendimiento de diferencias en otros. Las diferencias que tenemos con otros pueden incluir diferencias culturales, raciales, econ&amp;oacute;micas, &amp;eacute;ticas o de g&amp;eacute;nero.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Un ejemplo ser&amp;iacute;a un ni&amp;ntilde;o peque&amp;ntilde;o que no entiende que hay diferencias en las tradiciones familiares o culturales, o que nunca ha conocido a alguien de otro pa&amp;iacute;s.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Una persona en esta categor&amp;iacute;a es simplemente inocente o inexperta.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conciencia:&lt;/strong&gt; Esta categoria describe alguien que se da cuenta que hay diferencias entre personas porque las ha observado. Luego de darse cuenta, una persona puede elegir negar que las diferencias existen, o avanzar a aceptarlas.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Si una persona elige negarlas, violencia y discriminaci&amp;oacute;n pueden ocurrir porque la persona continua comportamientos que niegan las contribuciones y caracter&amp;iacute;sticas de otros.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aceptaci&amp;oacute;n:&lt;/strong&gt; Este nivel describe cuando una persona toma otro paso entre el el&amp;aacute;stico aceptando que las personas tienen derecho a ser diversas.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entendimiento:&lt;/strong&gt; Este nivel toma aceptaci&amp;oacute;n m&amp;aacute;s all&amp;aacute; mientras la persona sigue encontrando m&amp;aacute;s informaci&amp;oacute;n acerca de las diferencias de otros a trav&amp;eacute;s de amistad, leyendo, investigando, viajando, refleccionando, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apreciaci&amp;oacute;n:&lt;/strong&gt; Este nivel describe alguien que ha avanzado m&amp;aacute;s all&amp;aacute; del entendimiento para celebrar las diferencias. La gente en esta categor&amp;iacute;a busca aprender de las personas que son diferentes a ellos.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Formas sugeridas de usar el &amp;ldquo;El&amp;aacute;stico de Conciencia&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                            &lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
                                                                                &lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Discuta ideas con su grupo acerca de qu&amp;eacute; formas pueden diferir las personas una de otra, como: nacionalidad, g&amp;eacute;nero, orientaci&amp;oacute;n sexual, raza, econom&amp;iacute;a, educaci&amp;oacute;n, descapacitaciones, religi&amp;oacute;n, etc. Divida la clase entre grupos de 3 (idealmente) que son algo diversos. Haga que cada grupo elija un tipo de diferencia espec&amp;iacute;fica, como alguien que sea de Korea, o alguien que sea minusv&amp;aacute;lido. El grupo debe pasar por cada uno de los pasos, describiendo comportamientos que ser&amp;aacute;n demostrados en cada nivel hacia una persona con esa diferencia. Adem&amp;aacute;s, describa lo que una persona har&amp;iacute;a para avanzar a otro nivel en el el&amp;aacute;stico referente a una persona con esa diferencia. Anime a los grupos a ser tan espec&amp;iacute;ficos como sea posible. Por ejemplo, en vez de sugerir &amp;rdquo;lean un libro acerca de cultura&amp;rdquo;, identifique un libro espec&amp;iacute;fico para leer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                                                                                &lt;/ul&gt;
                                                                                &lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
                                                                                    &lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Haga que cada persona reflexione individualmente en donde se encuentran en esta escala con los siguientes grupos: Afro-americanos, latinoamericanos, americanos asi&amp;aacute;ticos, nativo-americanos, americanos europeos, homosexuales/lesbianas, musulmanes, cristianos, jud&amp;iacute;os, hind&amp;uacute;s, mujeres, hombres, gente t&amp;iacute;mida, personas descapacitadas, &amp;eacute; inmigrantes. Haga que cada persona escoja uno o dos grupos de personas con quienes ellos deban avanzar en el espectro del el&amp;aacute;stico de conciencia y discutir pasos concretos que puedan tomar para avanzar al siguiente nivel. H&amp;aacute;galos examinar c&amp;oacute;mo sus sentimientos sobre/reacciones hacia la gente en esos grupos puede afectar poderosamente el tipo de l&amp;iacute;der que ellos lleguen a ser. An&amp;iacute;melos a ser tan espec&amp;iacute;ficos como sea posible.&lt;/li&gt;
                                                                                    &lt;/ul&gt;

                                                    &lt;/ul&gt;

                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;La comunicaci&amp;oacute;n no-verbal puede ser m&amp;aacute;s poderosa que la comunicaci&amp;oacute;n verbal. Puede contradecir o socavar la comunicaci&amp;oacute;n verbal. Usted puede darse cuenta qu&amp;eacute; tan bien est&amp;aacute; recibiendo una persona su mensaje observando sus &amp;ldquo;se&amp;ntilde;ales&amp;rdquo; no verbales. Es importante realizar que la comunicaci&amp;oacute;n no-verbal es a veces conectada fuertemente a la cultura y g&amp;eacute;nero, y que la misma &amp;ldquo;se&amp;ntilde;al&amp;rdquo; puede llevar diferentes significados cuando proviene de diferentes personas. Cuando usted no est&amp;aacute; seguro de los que alguien est&amp;aacute; comunicando, es siempre mejor pedir aclaraci&amp;oacute;n.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cinco partes de Comunicaci&amp;oacute;n no-verbal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Hay cinco &amp;ldquo;canales&amp;rdquo; principales para comunicaci&amp;oacute;n no-verbal&amp;mdash;postura, gestos, contacto visual, expresiones faciales, y cualidades vocales. Los siguientes son algunos ejemplos de tipos de comunicaci&amp;oacute;n en cada una de las categor&amp;iacute;as:&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Postura:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; hombros ca&amp;iacute;dos puede sugerir aburrimiento, reclinarse hacia adelante puede sugerir inter&amp;eacute;s y apertura, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gestos:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; pu&amp;ntilde;os apretados sugieren enojo, manos temblorosas pueden sugerir nervios&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contacto visual:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; evadir la mirada puede sugerir inseguridad, ver hacia abajo sugiere verg&amp;uuml;enza, ver a los ojos directamente sugiere confianza&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Expresiones faciales:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; aparte de los obvios&amp;mdash;sonrisas, ce&amp;ntilde;o fruncido, etc.&amp;mdash;las expresiones faciales pueden &lt;em&gt;esconder &lt;/em&gt;la verdadera intenci&amp;oacute;n del mensaje&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cualidades verbales:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; levantar el vol&amp;uacute;men de la voz puede sugerir enojo, murmurar puede sugerir inseguridad, hablar demasiado despacio y deliberadamente puede comunicar que usted cree que la otra persona no le entiende&lt;/p&gt;
                                                    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
                                                                              &lt;/td&gt;
                                                &lt;/tr&gt;
                                                &lt;tr&gt;
                                                    &lt;td&gt;             &lt;a href=&quot;NewPrintWindow(&amp;#039;popArticlePrintEs.asp?ArticleId=27F842CB-AB20-4E9C-855D-DE7DB8B29CD6&amp;#039;,&amp;#039;&amp;#039;);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

                                    &lt;/tr&gt;
                                &lt;/tbody&gt;
                            &lt;/table&gt;
                            &lt;/td&gt;
