Leadership EducationLeadership Education (LE) is an integral part of each year’s instruction. There are separate course materials for the Leadership Education and Aerospace Science academics program, however in practice, the overlap is considerable. The development of writing and speaking skills are categorized
as “leadership education topics,” yet when used to present subject matter related to what is being taught in the “aerospace science” area, the results are twofold. Additionally, many after- school activities provide the proving ground for newly learned leadership skills. Activities such as drill teams, model rocketry clubs, and the formal cadet corps’ operation all require students to accomplish considerable responsibilities. Goals for Leadership Education Courses Students will learn about: 1. The program heritage, organization, and traditions; individual self-control; personal behavior, wellness, personal and environmental health, and US citizenship and government. 2.
