How has your Philosophy/Vision of Curriculum & Instruction Leadership been influenced by what you have learned in this course?
The course material has influenced my philosophy of curriculum and instruction leadership by instilling the viewpoint that strong educational leadership encourages best learning institutions to thrive as well as troubled schools to embrace transformational steps. That said, I learned that educational leaders are just as crucial to student learning as teachers. Therefore, curriculum and instruction leadership should be tailored to cultivate school environments where teachers flourish, and as a result, students improve their performance. Instructions and curriculum leaders accomplish this by providing an explicit direction, developing teachers’ talents, as well as setting high-performance expectations for teachers and their students. In addition, I acknowledged the role of evidence-based practice within school leadership practice in order to address educational challenges, including closing the attainment gaps and ascertaining those students of diverse demographic backgrounds achieve national standards.

Unquestionably, the curriculum development leaders have a wide range of learning experiences and content to incorporate, and more essentially, the interaction of the content and objectives and the association with educational experiences.
Identify 2 principles from the texts you learned that you will/can immediately apply in your current setting and why you think they will make a difference in the current setting.
The two principles that could be easily applied within my current setting include objectives and content. Objectives are mainly described in terms of the expected outcomes. For instance, I would create a chronological list of subtopics or topics to be addressed within a high school science course: activities of human organisms, use of animal and plant resources, development and evolution, and the like. This kind of list could indic...
