[Ross · Rating 4 out of 5]

The structure of the book would help anyone entering a position of curriculum director or school leader. The examples and problem solving step were helpful in anticipating adoption and development of curriculum and alignment school wide. Communication strategies and suggestions focused on stakeholders: administrators, community members, teachers from all experience levels, and students help bring all voices to the table. The book is direct enough to be a foundational text.
