Visit to AB Combs

Cohort IV fellows visited A.B. Combs Elementary School. The school uses Covey’s Seven Habits to promote student leadership. Fellows and NELA Team members were greeted at the entrance of the school by students dressed to represent different countries. We watched a student-led presentation and student-led choir before being led around the school by student-tour guides . Student leadership was very apparent at A.B. Combs!

“This visit was amazing. Ms. Summers has an extraordinarily almost magical way of cultivating leadership skills from the students in her school. Spending the day with her was like apprenticing a master craftsman. One is left with a reflective pause that produces a realization that a successful leader is also an inspiring figure. Ms. Summers is just those things.” – Keith Parker, Cohort IV Fellow
