The United States Armed Forces sponsors 6-12 grade level Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and the Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) programs in schools across the United States and on United States military bases across the world. These programs were created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 and later expanded under the 1964 ROTC Vitalization Act.
The JROTC and NNDCC programs instill the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment in attending students. Students (cadets) who decide to pursue a military career will have the ability to rank higher after completing three years in a program.
These programs focus on cadets’ cognitive, physical, behavioral, social and emotional dimensions, as well as emphasizing military, career and college preparedness. Program curriculum goals include:
Additionally, efforts and learning to support these programs may count to support a credentialed School Counselor in meeting the military, career and college professional learning requirements required for renewal.
To be eligible for assignment as an instructor for these programs, a retired service member must hold the valid certificate issued by the Department of Defense (DoD). These instructors may not teach other classes in the K-12 setting without a valid Michigan teacher certification or being placed under an appropriate permit or authorization.
