Produktbeschreibung
Modern-day curriculum leaders too often receive shallow "trainings" or pre-packaged "solutions" that promise to "fix" schools once and for all. Ready-made solutions to the complex social, moral, and political challenges that face today's schools, however, do not exist. Curriculum Leadership provides those who lead curriculum discussions with a humanistic foundation that embraces the moral aspect of curriculum decision making. In doing so it provides much needed guidance for today's curriculum leaders. Null focuses on ten virtues he contends are essential for good curriculum making: humility, courage, compassion, justice, wisdom, practical wisdom, perseverance, faith, hope, and love. Each chapter, one per virtue, begins with a philosophical, psychological, and, in some cases, theological discussion of that virtue before turning to two role models who serve as moral exemplars for that virtue. Readers of Curriculum Leadership will develop a better understanding of the unique nature of curriculum problems. They will gain a richer understanding of how these virtues not only improve our lives personally but also result in stronger institutions that serve the public good. Only through the formation of people who possess these ten virtues can our institutions of curriculum weather the storm that is upon us.
