I am an Agriculture teacher and FFA Advisor in Washington State and created a new class, Ag Leadership and Communication, six years ago as a way to teach leadership skills to my upper division agriculture students and FFA officers. I struggled for several years with developing the curriculum for the class that allowed for flexibility, adequately hit all of the key leadership standards, and kept the kids engaged throughout the semester. I found the Character Development and Leadership curriculum three years ago and it has become the backbone of the leadership component of the class. I love this curriculum because it is up-to-date, students relate to it, and it is easy for me to flexibly implement it into my curriculum. I knew that when I ordered the curriculum that the kids would love the video portion of the curriculum, but what surprised me most was how much they enjoyed the textbook. I would recommend this curriculum to anyone looking for an outstanding leadership curriculum.
