Course Description for Leadership Education LE-I & LE-IV (9th and 12th grade)
-
The following is a brief course description for the Leadership Education Programs that I instruct.
LE-III: JROTC Leadership Education III (LE-III) is a career and technical education course for high school students that builds upon prior JROTC instruction by focusing on advanced military leadership and management techniques, including teamwork, decision-making, problem-solving, and staff supervision. The curriculum emphasizes the development of character, citizenship, and personal growth through leadership studies and hands-on application in leadership labs, covering topics like communication, financial planning, and public service. Successful completion can lead to advanced placement in college ROTC programs or accelerated military promotion.
LE-IV: This is the fourth course of Marine Corps JROTC. The course builds on the foundations developed in level 3 and continues to introduce advanced leadership instruction with emphasis on motivation and discipline. Leadership Education courses at this level provide elevated instruction in leadership, citizenship, personal growth, appearance and responsibility, career awareness, and general military subjects. Basic instruction on military law and land navigation are also introduced. Expanded instruction on rifle safety and marksmanship techniques build on basic instruction at level 2. Physical fitness is enhanced to include planning and supervision. Minimum performance requirements for the course are based on successful completion of competencies according to the national Marine Corps JROTC curriculum.
