Now in its forth edition, this best seller has helped successive cohorts of principals create the best possible curriculum. The authors examine four levels of curriculum – state, district, school, and classroom – to explain how effective principals influence curriculum at every stage.
The authors re-examine the key issues that continue to influence principals in the "real world", and include examples of ways principals can incorporate curriculum leadership into their organizational behaviour. This book will guide principals in working with teachers to generate meaningful curricula which will raise the level of learning – and teaching – in your school.

Index
This text is both practical, and appropriately theoretical. Principal interns learn about the "big picture" of curriculum leadership, and also have the opportunity to look at the details of various aspects of curriculum leadership, such as a learning-centered schedule.
