Description
'Finally, a book for graduate students that deals with all aspects of curriculum. The authors have done a masterful job in exploring a multi-faceted, complex subject with rich and current information and excellent, interesting writing! . . . I enthusiastically endorse this book' - Robert Ferrera, Notre Dame de Namur University
'It is rare to find a textbook that so closely matches the objectives of a course and the needs of the students who typically take that course. Curriculum Leadership: Development and Implementation does both extremely well' - Allen H. Seed, University of Memphis
Curriculum Leadership: Development and Implementation is a one-of-a-kind resource written for educational leaders who want to successfully restructure and enhance curriculum in schools today. This book provides a plethora of innovative and successful curriculum ideas, including reflective case studies, "Keys to Leadership" sections, curriculum tips, and "Challenge" sections with key issues and questions in every chapter. Also interspersed throughout the book are tried and true strategies that arm administrators with innovative ideas on meeting state and national standards. Rarely has there been a curriculum book that is so useful in today's changing educational scene.
This book will help every educational leader who wants to make a difference by:
- Defining the concepts of curriculum
- Describing the contracting nature of curriculum components
- Analyzing the hidden curriculum
- Unfolding ways to develop and implement curriculum
This is a much needed, highly informative, and easy-to-read account of curriculum development and change for curriculum leaders, those teaching curriculum courses, and those aspiring to become curriculum decision makers.
