▶LEADERSHIP PENSACOLA CURRICULUM AN INTER-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH
A community is not about topics but rather, interrelations of issues. The LeaP curriculum incorporates the issues currently facing the community and discusses potential solutions for the challenges it may face in the future. Here are the 10 curriculum topics and their objectives:
COMMUNITY • To gain a greater understanding of our region’s history, how people have invested and disinvested in the region, and how those trends impact current reinvestment. • To explore how we live, work & play in Northwest Florida. • To experience, firsthand, the elements of community development by touring a neighborhood and meeting its leaders. • To provide an essential basis for the curriculum year.
PRESENT ECONOMICS • To explore different economic development
strategies. • To understand how our community is affected by ongoing local, state, or nationwide economic development efforts. • To examine the results of economic development efforts in Pensacola and elsewhere. • To generate and critique a simple economic development strategy for Pensacola. • To further understand the area’s economic strengths and weaknesses and prospects for the future (continued in Future Economics)
