Transformative Curriculum Leadership

This text is appropriate for courses in K-12 Curriculum Development and Curriculum Planning and Development. This unique text uses a reader-friendly style and eight practitioner narratives to integrate curriculum study and education reform literature in an accessible way.

The book discusses: 1) teaching and learning implications of democratic progressive education; 2) the human developmental and political challenges of transformative curriculum leadership; 3) transformative curriculum designing, planning, evaluation, and school cultures; and 4) transformative leadership in education.Henderson, James G. is the author of 'Transformative Curriculum Leadership', published 1999 under ISBN 9780130810755 and ISBN 0130810754.
