Our teaching of leadership is grounded in our philosophy of active learning.
Cadets are responsible for their own learning and the mastery of course content.
Instructors have been given great latitude in developing innovative and creative teaching strategies for bringing their leadership experiences into the cadet classroom. Cadets are evaluated on their ability to translate theory and experience into application. For example, cadets are required to reflect regularly on the leadership material they are learning and to record those reflections in a leadership notebook. This helps them apply what they are learning to their current leadership positions in the Corps, and to project this learning into their future roles as commissioned officers. They also write case studies and leader plans that deal with current and anticipated leadership challenges they will face as junior Army officers.
