Course Description:

This course provides instruction in theoretical and applied aspects of leadership, individual training, and evaluation of individual and team performance. The course focuses primarily on practical leadership techniques and implementation. The intent is to assist seniors in understanding the importance of leadership; improving their leadership skills by placing them in positions of leadership, under supervision; and assisting them in analyzing the reasons for their varying degrees of success throughout the year. Classroom activities include seminars, reading assignments, classroom presentations, and practical work with junior cadets. Seniors are mentored/guided in their preparation for postsecondary opportunities to include college preparation, completing scholarship applications, and the job/career choices that are available to them.

Students will be instructed in the techniques used to create motivation, develop goals and activities for a group/team, and the appropriate attitudes and behaviors required to set a positive leadership example. Students are provided access to ACT/SAT prep courses, guidance in selecting a college and pursuing available scholarships, and mentoring in establishing long-term life goals.
