Superintendent's Leadership Program
[edit]
The Superintendent's Leadership Program (SLP) is an honors program for academically elite high school seniors who are currently living in Montgomery County, Maryland. The only humanities oriented honors intern program within the county, participation in the program is competitive and up to 15 interns are selected for their academic ability, demonstrated leadership, maturity, intellectual curiosity, and ability to learn in non-classroom settings.
Applicants must have a weighted 3.5 GPA and completed all requirements for graduation except English and Math. The program is a two-semester program during the senior year of high school, that offers 2 honors credits per semester. Students may enroll in up to four (4) classes, scheduled in the morning at their home school and still participate. Applications may be downloaded from the website on February 1 or students may contact their high school career counselor. The deadline for submission of all materials is March 15 to Superintendent’s Leadership Program, MCPS, 850 Hungerford Drive, Room 241, Rockville, MD 20850. Questions may be addressed via email at kim_d_jones@mcpsmd.org or by calling (301) 279-3546. Students will be notified of the decision of the selection committee by April 30. All applicants will be required to register for a normal class schedule since participation in this program is limited. If selected, students will eliminate all classes after the fourth period. While applications are accepted from students in the sciences, selection preference is given to humanities students. The program is open to students enrolled in Montgomery County Public Schools.
The curriculum includes career development, teambuilding, critical thinking, and leadership. Students will participate in case studies and team projects, as well as seminars designed to demonstrate the role of leadership in shaping cooperation among teams. During the program year, students will visit and engage in dialogues with government officials, as well as business and civic leaders. The curriculum content is comparable to many college courses. The Harvard case study approach is used in the seminars and includes such topics as workplace leadership, diversity, global affairs, conflict resolution, and business ethics. In addition to the seminars and 300 hours of internship per semester, there are extensive research and writing assignments reinforcing work experience and seminar topics.
Selected readings are provided prior to the seminars to aid in the understanding of lectures and discussion. Questions from the required readings may be included in discussions. Required texts are The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and Learning to Lead: A Workbook on Becoming a Leader, which are provided to participants.
Additional requirements include:
- A monthly leadership journal of reflection
- Ten page research thesis with references on chosen industry
- Small group community service project
- Class development of an international business through Achievers International
Grades are based on submitted written assignments, supervisor evaluation, participation, and presentations. Regular attendance is required at the worksite and at scheduled seminars. Students are required to provide their own transportation to the worksite and seminars, which are held throughout the county. Internships are assigned throughout the metropolitan region based on the partnerships currently established. Students rejecting assigned internships will be withdrawn from the program.
