Creative Curriculum Leadership tells why teachers need more than the traditional top-down, get-higher-test-scores approach to education. He describes the benefits of developing your own "inner curriculum." He also shows the importance of attending to both political power and spiritual power in becoming a creative curriculum leader. Dale Brubaker shows you how to create settings and learning communities that empower people to identify and use their talents. Creative curriculum leaders ask: "How can I understand myself better so that I can enjoy my work and my life more?" and, "How can I improve the settings that are important to me?" Two new chapters are included in this updated Second Edition (Chapter 8. Creating Learning Communities and Chapter 9. Teacher Leaders), also several new appendices have also been added.
