Creative leadership in schools involves a deep personal commitment to the curriculum, both to what is taught and to how it is taught. School administrators need to know how to handle external pressures, particularly the demand for higher test scores, while maintaining their commitment. With the use of case studies, the author explores how to achieve the aim of becoming a creative curriculum leader.
