Developing a Quality Curriculum

by Allan A. Glatthorn

In this concise, well-organized guide to developing high-quality school curricula, Glatthorn blends sound research, initiatives, and trends with his practical experience as a curriculum consultant to more than one hundred school systems. Glatthorn believes that shared leadership and responsibility are essential to achieve quality. Curriculum development should involve a collaborative process that includes input from the state, district leaders, school administrators, classroom teachers, and parents. From "Organizing and Planning for Curriculum Work" to "Conducting a Curriculum Audit to Ensure Quality," Developing a Quality Curriculum is a valuable resource for understanding and practicing sound curriculum development.
