## 1. The student uses problem-solving and decision-making skills, working independently and with others. The student is expected to:

- [Leadership Styles and Influence](https://ai.page/c/leadership-styles-and-influence/index.md): Distinguish different leadership styles (directive, democratic, servant, transformational) and understand when each is appropriate; understand that influence in a group comes with responsibility, and explore the difference between leading through inspiration versus coercion; practise inclusive leadership: actively creating space for quieter voices and diverse perspectives; understand the ethics of influence and the boundary between persuasion and manipulation; explore concepts of consent and coercion in peer relationships; reflect on what kind of influence they want to have in their communities

## 2. The student understands the structure and functions of government created by the Texas Constitution. The student is expected to:

- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money
