Create the best possible curriculum for your school!
Strong leadership in curriculum development is an essential element of any school improvement strategy, and today′s principals play a vital and ever-expanding role in the process. This revised edition of a best-selling classic examines curriculum at the state, district, school, and classroom level and shows how effective principals can incorporate curriculum leadership into their organizational strategy to influence curriculum at each level.
Based on the most up-to-date research, this resource includes an expanded list of references as well as updated information on the effects of No Child Left Behind, the influence of the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), the importance of state and national standards, and more. The authors examine:
- New developments in curriculum standards, including the importance of content standards in statewide reforms
- The gap between the taught and learned curriculum
- The need for team leadership and professional learning communities
Packed with useful guidelines, this practical how-to guide helps principals collaborate with teachers and district leaders to create a more meaningful curriculum.
