Biography

Rose M. Ylimaki is an Associate Professor in the Educational Policy Studies and Practice Department at the University of Arizona.

"This book brings much needed balance to scholarship on instructional leadership, which has focused on how we lead while neglecting curriculum content—or what we lead. In this insightful book, Ylimaki convincingly argues that in our obsession with test scores, we are failing to teach our children and youth how to think rationally and critically about the increasingly complex world they will inherit."

--Gary L. Anderson, Professor of Educational Administration, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University

"Ylimaki　introduces, explains, and illustrates a sophisticated, critically-informed definition of curriculum leadership that is vital to the future of democratic societies.　 This well-balanced, clearly argued, and carefully researched book presents an inspired vision for the future of leadership development and artistry in education."

--James Henderson, Professor of Curriculum Studies, Kent State University
