    Peer Leadership courses are co listed with Practical Application of Life Skills (PALS) courses and are a great fit for students who are interested in exploring work or service that is in support of the disability community.  

    These courses might be a fit for students who are interested in becoming  a teacher, physical therapist, speech pathologist, social worker, counselor, other medical professional, etc.  If you are in the Education and Leadership Pathway, Peer Leadership is a requirement for 10th graders and an elective for 11th graders.

    Peer Leaders are students who choose to take classes with students who have IEPs and are enrolled in the PALs program.

    Peer Leaders are not Teacher Assistants.  Peer Leaders:  

    • Act as role models
    • Are good friends
    • Work in groups with PALS Students
    • Work directly with and alongside PALS students.
    • Everyone engages with the curriculum

    Interested students should request one of the specific Peer Leadership Courses or indicate that they would like any Peer Leadership Course that can work with their schedule.
