Leadership Unit. The Use of Teacher-Scholar Teams to Develop Units for the Gifted by Dr James J Gallagher

This is a model for how curriculum for the gifted should be written. With reproducible activity sheets, the book presents a structured unit with 20 activities to introduce 5th and 6th graders to the concept of leadership and to some of the means of analyzing leadership that political scientists have developed.

The book contains reproducibles, tests, objectives, and evaluation forms. Activities include simulation, role playing, games, and discussion of Animal Farm and Five Boys In A Cave. It also contains an extensive discussion of the formation of a team of scholars and teachers, of how to write curriculum, of the implementation of this Leadership Unit, and of the results.
