2. This course is not intended to be an activity course where athletes can hone their skills. Rather, this course seeks to use Physical Education and recreational activities as a tool for creating concrete leadership experiences, and developing leadership potential.

3. GOALS 1. To increase awareness in students of the place and need for leaders in our communities; 2. To study various administrative and programming techniques which will provide the student with the knowledge to successfully assume a leadership role; 3. To assist students in the understanding of "effective leadership" and how to become better leaders. i.e. How to listen, communicate, evaluate, constructively criticize, conflicts, organize self and programs, study and practice qualities of effective leaders;

4. 4. To assist students in building greater self- confidence and self-esteem through the development of good communication and leadership skills; 5. To provide an opportunity to increase their leadership skills and abilities through experience and deliberate practice; 6. To allow for student ownership and control over aspects of the programs developed, allowing for appropriate decision making and personal growth from successes and failures.

5. OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE The aim of Leadership Through Physical Education and Recreation is to provide students with the opportunity to develop leadership skills. While the course is concerned with the acquisition of knowledge (cognitive) and skill learning (psychomotor), it is hoped that the leadership opportunities experienced in the course, will also develop an awareness of the need for dynamic, professional, and volunteer leadership (affective) within the community.
