Learn to Lead

Phase I & II cadets may begin studying leadership using the new Learn to Lead textbook effective 1 July 2010. The new text will replace Leadership for the 21st Century (previously known as Leadership: 2000 & Beyond).

Phase-In. All cadets who join after 1 July 2010 will receive a copy of Learn to Lead, Modules 1 and 2 in their New Cadet Kit. Phase I and II cadets who joined prior to that date may remain in Leadership for the 21st Century or opt to switch to Learn to Lead. Cadet Officers will not be immediately affected as Modules 3 and 4 (serving Phases III and IV respectively) will be published in 2011.

Written & Drill Tests. New tests will serve the Learn to Lead cadets, via the new online testing system. Cadets who remain in the Leadership for the 21st Century text will continue to use the same tests they’ve been using (CAPT 68,60, and 64-1). Learn to Lead cadets will demonstrate their proficiency in drill through a performance test during every achievement in Phases I and II.

Curriculum Design. Learn to Lead will be a textbook of four modules (one for each phase in the Cadet Program). Each module consists of a number of chapters, with cadets studying one chapter per achievement (as they do now with the current textbook).

Lesson Plans. To support Learn to Lead instruction, we are creating recipe-like lesson plans that seniors and ranking cadets can use to teach the main topics of each chapter.
