Summary Curriculum Leadership provides a sound overview of leadership practice and proposes professional development activities to build teamwork and develop professional practice. Divided into three sections - working as a faculty or special purpose team, writing curriculum units and developing classroom skills, the book addresses fundamental aspects of quality, reflective educational practices. Tips on unit writing include a 3-D model of teaching and learning which takes into account the child as a learner, content and application of knowledge and the extent to which curriculum reaches into non-learning area specific content. It is an effective method of evaluating a unit of work. The book also gives some practical methods to broaden classroom skills. A valuable asset to school professional development libraries
