Ame Burton
Instructor - Principles of Leadership
Phone: 402-740-8080 Email: aburton@ahsonline.org|
Previously taught on campus for over a decade, this 'favorite' course for students is now available online for the benefit of our worldwide students. We dive into the time-tested 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, study the masterful leadership of the Savior, and discover ways to incorporate the very best leadership traits into our own lives...immediately! Students are astounded at the positive changes that happen in their lives when applying these principles.
The live class provides opportunities for presenting to an audience of peers, seeing leadership ideas and tools in real life, as well as making crucial connections to gospel principles. We begin with prayer, the national anthem, and a spiritual connection all directed by the students themselves. Then we review past concepts with activities and view student work from the assignments when helpful. The majority of class time is used to enrich the learning and application of new concepts through small and large group activities.
Students are expected to attended a 1-on-1 meeting each term with mentors.

MENTOR BIOGRAPHY
A teacher at heart, Ame has sought out or created ways to teach one topic or another for the past three decades after graduating from Utah State University and earning top awards for two consecutive years. From ASL to preschool, and from art and music to adventure-based leadership courses she constructed, finding ways to spark in others a love for learning has brought her incredible joy. It all began when she taught a class of Japanese exchange students learning about American culture. She hopes it will conclude teaching foreign students once again, simultaneously the gospel intertwined with life skills. Thankfully for AHS, she has experienced the joy of daily doing exactly that.
Having raised five amazing children in Nebraska, Ame and her husband, Lindsay, now get to experience the world with new perspective and increased freedom which includes more travel, more house remodeling, and many more new friends as they pursue dreams of building a 'family retreat' acreage for all to enjoy..
