| WHAT IS LEARNING LEADERSHIP?
- Learning Leadership is a leadership course for students in secondary school.
- The course is made up of four books. These books are designed to be used by students in upper secondary, i.e. in Years 9. 10, 11 and 12.
- Learning Leadership is a course for both girls and boys.
THE INSTRUCTIONAL STYLE OF LEARNING LEADERSHIP
- Learning Leadership is made up of books which provide stimulus-response material for students and their teachers.
- The books present a range of learning opportunities designed to cater for a wide diversity of preferred learning styles.
- Learning Leadership lends itself to customising by teachers. The addition of appropriate practical exercises and case studies using multi-media format would complement the material offered in Learning Leadership.
- Significant use is made of case studies and heroic example. Story telling is a powerful way to transmit ideals from one generation to another.
THE COURSE LENGTH
- Each book is made up of 20 units of an assumed length of about 50 minutes to 100 minutes, i.e. one or two periods. Quite properly, just how the material is used must be controlled by the teacher. Most units lend themselves to extension work as required by the teacher, thus the exact length of time taken to complete a unit will vary.
- With schools already suffering an over-crowded curriculum, Learning Leadership is designed to be assimilated into a school's existing timetable with relative ease.
- The 20 units in each book may be spread out to one unit a fortnight over a year, or one unit a week for one semester.
- The course lends itself to inclusion into tutor periods, PDHPE programs, civics courses, religious studies and the humanities program.
