Recenzii
“I highly recommend this book to new and prospective principals. Glatthorn and Jailall provide a lot of food for thought to truly make a change in what is done with curriculum.”
"Provides an overview of the complexity of school administration while identifying and organizing a plan of action for the educational leader to build effective curriculum within the organization.”
"Gives insights and directions for the critical role and responsibility of the principal. It is a must-have book for the school leader who wants to focus on the truly important aspects of being an effective principal!"
"The authors provide excellent insights about the importance of effective leadership in our public schools."
"Brings the job description of the principal to full circle as we transition the role to a 21st-century school executive."
"There is no role more important for a school principal today than that of curriculum leader. This book is the best that I have seen in this regard. The authors get straight to the point and give guidance to anyone currently serving as a principal or aspiring to become a principal."
"Glatthorn and Jailall provide a helpful resource anchored in the context of No Child Left Behind, state standards, and the elevation of curriculum reform. Their work is a reference point for the practitioner, providing straightforward guidelines and suggestions to ensure that the principal plays an active leadership role in the expanding area of curriculum and instruction responsibilities."
