Leaders, how can you collaborate with your teachers to develop curriculum that works for their students? This powerful book shows how you can support teachers through the dilemmas they face as they unpack the mandated and prescribed curriculum, and strategies for co-creating a curriculum that makes sense for your ecosystem, your mission, and most importantly your students.

The first part of the book discusses the importance of giving teachers the opportunity to identify the knowledge, skills, and dispositions their curriculum will cultivate. The second part covers how leaders can prioritize the people-work as much as possible. And the third part features a workbook with templates and tools to help you put the ideas into action.

Grounded in research, interviews with leaders across the country, and practical takeaways, this book will help you foster the collaborative culture required for the curriculum work that your teachers and students need.
