An OK start...
This author has created a semester-long guide for a high school leadership class. She covers the theory and some of the skills of leaders. As such, it is more cognitive than not, and even though she uses daily class exercises and feedback, it is not experiential. Her curriculum guide does not involve group projects or group process. She is oriented more toward intellectual and using ego-ideals than experience. She has midterm and final exams in this book.Nevertheless, many of her points are well taken and worth reading.
For teachers interested in building classroom experiences that affect skills of leaders (e.g., active listening, self-concept and self-esteem, values, vision and goals, stress management), you might consider Susan Fritz's Interpersonal Skills for Leadership (Prentice-Hall, 1999), even though it is written for a college-level class. Using both MacGregor and Fritz, you will be able to create a very interesting set of cognitive and experiential lessons, aimed at both conceptual and skill-building outcomes.
