This 2nd edition presents strategies and answers questions, based on research and best practices, on how to develop curriculum and instruction, from philosophical base through assessment, to ensure excellence in curriculum beyond boiler plate standards. Current vocabulary describes this process as Value Added. However, since the current political paradigm requires school systems to map the curriculum to state and national assessments, attention is also given to curriculum mapping, pacing guides and other contemporary strategies designed to meet common cores, and other accountability issues. The book provides a process for school systems to follow in order to maximize teacher expertise and involvement, which creates the highest level of ownership and responsiveness from those charged with instruction and assessment.

Moving beyond alignment and national boilerplate standards, this book takes the position that curriculum and instruction are inseparable concepts from the institutional point of view, and presents strategies to ensure their congruency. To achieve student success it is imperative that educational leaders have superb knowledge and skills in curriculum and instructional leadership whether they operate from the central office or the building level. Bradley contends that paper and pencil tests to measure student achievement on basic and minimum skills will certainly remain as one criterion of school evaluation. However, the public and the educational community will continue to demand the maximizing of potential for all students as an evaluation component of equal value and importance. The educational leader of today and tomorrow will need the knowledge and skills to facilitate this two-pronged approach to student achievement through curriculum design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Curriculum Leadership has, as its purpose, the preparation of leaders to facilitate this process.
