Description and Table of Contents
Description
Written specifically for school principals; this book is derived from several tested beliefs:(1) there is no single "right" way to do curriculum; (2) developing and implementing effective curricula are cooperative ventures in which district leaders, school administrators, and classroom teachers work toward a common goal; and (3) the pricipal must play an active leadership role in developing curriculum. The Second Edition of The Principal as Curriculum Leader has been updated to reflect current research and developments related to curriculum and its implementation.
