Overview
In the journey of professional growth, educators often transition from the role of a classroom teacher to positions such as a curriculum leader. This shift in perspective is not only a change in duties but a fundamental transformation in the approach to education. As a curriculum leader, one must adopt a broader view, looking beyond the immediate classroom environment to encompass the needs of the entire educational setting. This includes developing and implementing instructional strategies that support diverse learning styles outside your own teaching expertise, advocating for both teachers and students, and ensuring that the curriculum remains relevant, engaging, and aligned with educational standards.
Part 1: Personal Leadership Style
As an emerging curriculum leader, it is important to first understand yourself as a leader.
Using a leadership assessment from the topic Resources or selecting your own, complete at least one leadership assessment and Part 1 of the “EDU-527 Leadership in Curriculum” template to reflect on your leadership style.
Note: If you have completed a leadership assessment within the past year, you may share those results in Part 1 of the ‘EDU-527 Leadership in Curriculum” template rather than taking an additional assessment.
Part 2: Leadership Scenarios
Imagine you are a curriculum leader within your educational setting and have been tasked with discussing curriculum-based strategies, making decisions, and addressing challenges. Complete Part 2 of the “EDU-527 Leadership in Curriculum” template.
Support your work with 2-3 scholarly resources.
