About this title

Synopsis

In the face of increasing demands for school reform, educational leaders are looking anew at the core elements of the instructional program, including, of course, the curriculum. "Developing a Quality Curriculum" is a guide to both understanding and practicing sound curriculum development.

Allan Glatthorn draws upon research and his experience with more than 100 school systems to lay out the steps of a quality curriculum development process, from "Organizing and Planning for Curriculum Work" to "Conducting a Curriculum Audit to Ensure Quality." He emphasizes that this is a collaborative process involving district leaders, school administrators, teachers, students, and parents. Shared leadership and responsibility are essential, and all involved must be committed to a focus on student learning and an emphasis on quality.

With its comprehensive, step-by-step approach, "Developing a Quality Curriculum" is an indispensable resource for school systems struggling to balance the recommendations of state frameworks, classroom teachers, and others without losing sight of the real objective: improving student learning.
