Abstract
The L.E.A.D. program originally started as a secondary model for service learning to assist local secondary schools with Student Success Initiatives. As the L.E.A.D. Program matured, it expanded to the elementary level. This chapter briefly touches upon the origins of L.E.A.D. as it relates to the structure of the program (theoretical and practical). The theoretical (course-based) component of the program will be outlined in terms of the types of lectures, workshops, activities, and presentations in which L.E.A.D. teacher candidates participate. The practical (field placement) component of the program will be explained in terms of placement requirements and potential L.E.A.D. involvement. Similarities and differences between the elementary and secondary models will also be explained.
