The document outlines the roles and procedures school administrators can use in curriculum planning. As an expediter and social engineer, the administrator facilitates the planning process. They provide time and space for teachers to meet, arrange schedules so teachers planning together are free at the same time, and engage other groups. The administrator also identifies consultants, sets up professional development programs, and ensures teachers have opportunities to attend conferences and visit other schools to inform curriculum planning.
