Community Leadership Investigation Portfolio and Reflection

Each student will document a focused inquiry question, leadership-style and personality analysis, interview questions, source and observation notes, evidence synthesis, limitations, and conclusions connected to CADA standards and the IB Learner Profile. A revised reflection will evaluate how personality, mood, tone, and word choice affected the leader’s effectiveness and the student’s own leadership and inquiry skills.
