Curriculum Leadership: Readings for Developing Quality Educational Programs (9th Edition)

A selection of diverse readings that presents the knowledge, skills, and alternative strategies needed by curriculum planners and teachers at all levels of education, the newest edition of Curriculum Leadership retains its variety of learning experiences for students with wide-ranging interests, learning styles, and backgrounds. The readings are broken into three parts, the first creating a foundation for curriculum planning, the second exploring the development and implementation of the curriculum, and the third examining the application of curriculum planning skills throughout the stages of learning.

The revised ninth edition of Curriculum Leadership contains new chapters, articles, and features that continue the book’s tradition of presenting readers with the most current trends, up-to-date research, and pressing issues and then asks them to examine the material from theoretical and practical viewpoints.
