Curriculum Leadership: Virtues for a Changing World

This book 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. Modern-day curriculum leaders too often receive shallow trainings that promise to “fix” schools, yet ready-made solutions to the complex social and moral challenges that face schools do not exist. Curriculum Leadership provides those who lead curriculum discussions with a humanistic foundation that embraces the moral aspect of curriculum. Null focuses on ten virtues essential for good curriculum making: humility, courage, compassion, justice, wisdom, practical wisdom, perseverance, faith, hope, and love. Each chapter begins with a broad discussion of that virtue before turning to two role models who exemplify that virtue. Readers will gain a richer understanding of how these virtues improve our lives individually and collectively. Only through the formation of people who possess these virtues can our institutions weather the storm that is upon us.
