Abstract:

School curriculum leadership has both administrative attribute and professional attribute. The admini-strative attribute is mainly embodied in administrative position and its power action and so on. It focuses on pro-blems dealing with curriculum administrations and has top-down power-obedience effects. The professional attribute is mainly embodied in specialized knowledge and experience of richness, profundity, mystique and enlightenment. It focuses on problems dealing with curriculum and instruction and influencing other educator’s professional roles and efficiency and has multi-exchange idea-identity effects. Different syntagmatic relationship of the two attributes means different developments for the school curriculum and instruction. These two should be promoted and brought out the best in each other instead of black or white, or mutual negation.

Key words: curriculum leadership, administrative attribute, professional attribute
