Although traditional curriculum and instructional leadership
frameworks have dominated educational administration training for
almost thirty years, it has become increasingly clear that even the
most recent frameworks have failed today's leaders who struggle
with the politics of curriculum decisions on a daily basis.
Critical Curriculum Leadership is an examination of curriculum
leadership in the wake of U.S. testing mandates and school reforms,
all of which seem to support a particular set of conservative
ideologies. Drawing from her own longitudinal ethnographic study
and from existing literature and research in the field, Ylimaki
explores the formation of curriculum leadership in relation to
broader cultural and political shifts. She shows how traditional
leadership frameworks have come up short, and makes the case for an
alternative leadership theory at the intersection of educational
leadership and curriculum studies. She provides analytical tools
that inspire progressive education and offers critical theories,
strategies, research examples, problem-posing cases, and research
ideas essential for curriculum leadership in the present
conservative era. Critical Curriculum Leadership will appeal to the
many educational leadership scholars and practitioners who are
interested in developing effective and socially just curricula in
their schools and districts as well as curriculum scholars who are
interested in leadership issues.
