This document was prepared for submission to the NJROTC Curriculum Development
Committee for approval. The curriculum outline lists course lesson topics and
associated learning objectives, both unit and lesson topics, in their sequential
order. Criterion reference tests will be used to measure cadet achievement. The

SECTION A
CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
Naval Science 1 – The Introduction
A. Major concepts/content. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to
the precepts of citizenship, the elements of leadership, and the value of
scholarship in attaining life goals. This course is also designed to engender a
sound appreciation for the heritage and traditions of America, with recognition
that the role of sea power will be important in America's future, and develop in
each cadet a growing sense of pride in his/her organization, associates, and
self. These elements are pursued at a fundamental level.
The content should include, but not be limited to the following:
-
an introduction to the NJROTC program, its missions, goals and objectives
benefits of Career Planning
instruction in naval leadership and followership traits and principles
citizenship and responsibilities of citizens and the basis of our government
and its role in today’s society
the mission, and organization of the Navy in maintaining freedom of the seas
wellness, fitness, and first aid
geography and survival skills
B. Intended outcomes. After successfully completing this course, the student will:
1. Know the Navy Junior ROTC organization and the requirements for success in
the Navy Junior ROTC program.
2. Exhibit an understanding of how to think about a career and one’s life goals.
3. Exhibit an understanding of basic naval leadership and followership traits
and principles, and be afforded the opportunity to apply those traits and
principles in practical work.
4. Understand the role we have as American citizens and the role of government
in our society.
5. Understand the organization of the Navy.
6. Understand the importance of developing a personal exercise program and the
