and improve engagement. Strengthening leadership and collaboration skills empowers educators to
build ownership and agency in their students and peers. As a result, individuals take greater
responsibility, work more cohesively in teams, and develop stronger cooperative abilities. These skills
are valuable not just in education but in any professional setting.
