Tommy Benson The Fourth Edition of The Principal as Curriculum Leader: Shaping What is Taught and Tested is the most comprehensive guide I've seen to assist all principals in moving from school managers to true 21st century instructional leaders. Glatthorn, Jailall, and Jailall have masterfully integrated ESSA and the revised Professional Standards for Educational Leaders, weaving those tenets into how school districts not only design relevant curriculum plans, but fully implement and assess how those plans are working. This is a must-read text for any school leader who is passionate about strengthening curriculum to raise the level of achievement for all students.

Hicks, Teaching Assistant Professor, Former Principal and District Administrator The Principal as Curriculum Leader provides insight and practical suggestions to support the principal's role as a building curriculum leader. This is a must-read guide that outlines the building administrator's role as is relates to curriculum development, implementation and the impact an effective leader can have on instructional change.

This can only be achieved when the principal becomes a true curriculum leader.

Kathy T. Spencer, Ed. D. As principals, we so often get caught up in the day-to-day management of our schools. We must quit putting out fires and instead focus our attention on leading, specifically as curriculum leaders. Glatthorn, Jailall and Jailall provide a clear framework with a plan of action to put you and your school on a path to student success. Whether you need to develop a plan or simply refine the one you have, this book is a must read!
Stephen Baker, Principal I found the book to be a compelling presentation of the key role of principal-understanding curriculum and how to implement effective change in all buildings. I have been searching for a book to use in my principal preparation class on Instructional Leadership and I believe I now have the book that will provide my students a comprehensive view on the principalship. With a continued emphasis on school improvement and the importance of increasing student achievement, this book is an invaluable tool for pre-service and in-service school leaders.
