There are two key themes within the program. Within each of these themes, there are 7 modules (14 in total) that participants work though.

Embedded within each schools own context, six key rituals / milestones are experienced by students, culminating in their senior induction.

It depends on the schools' context. While it best done over a period of six months, there are three options of delivery:

Option 1: Over six months. A mixture of cohort engagement, rituals and experiences, plus 14 pastoral/formation/life-skills lessons allocated to the program. Staff involved in the delivery of lessons attend professional development through Ben at Empowerment-Ed will lead and facilitate these lessons.

Key transition rituals are embedded and aligned with pre-existing elements of the leadership program within the school. Rituals that are not present are added to the overall program.

Options 2: Schools run a 2/3-day intensive leadership program experience (usually as a leadership camp). Ben from Empowerment-Ed would facilitate this in conjunction with key pastoral well-being staff.

Option 3: student leaders camp with elected student leaders (run at end of Year 11 or start of Year 12).

The key hope of 'Answer the Call: Lead through Empowerment' is to align pre-existing leadership development elements that the school wants to keep, and strengthen their leadership formation to place senior students in the strongest place possible to lead their school in their final year.

There are a number of packages schools can select. This is determined at a later date.

Any teacher that delivers 'Answer the Call - Lead through Empowerment' is to conduct Professional Development through Empowerment-Ed.

Included in all packages are:

• Scope and sequence of the program

• Student booklet

• Teacher planner

• Resourced powerpoints

• Ritual / rite of passage planning documents for school implementation

• Any administrative documents (eg. parent letters)

• Support from Empowerment-Ed

Extras based on packages:

• Parent information evenings

• Cohort keynote presentations

• Leadership camp visits (if running the 6 month module)

Schools that are interested in the intensive 3-day program have access to all of the above, but in a different format.
