Description
Critical Curriculum Leadership: A Framework for Progressive Education offers a fresh perspective on curriculum leadership in today's educational landscape. Drawing from her extensive research and analysis, Rose M. Ylimaki explores how traditional frameworks have failed to address the complexities of curriculum decisions, particularly in the face of conservative ideologies. Ylimaki provides a critical framework for alternative leadership theory at the intersection of educational leadership and curriculum studies. This book offers practical tools, theories, strategies, and case studies essential for developing effective and socially just curricula in schools and districts. It is an important resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to create positive change in education. By examining the formation of curriculum leadership in relation to broader cultural and political shifts, Ylimaki makes a compelling case for a more progressive approach to curriculum development. This book will appeal to those interested in developing effective curricula that promote social justice and equity.
