Abstract	Practical curriculum issues faced by the school administrator are addressed in this guidebook. Chapter 1 examines the function of curriculum in schools and describes the three forms of curricula: formal, informal, and hidden. These forms appear as written, taught, and tested curricula. Chapter 2 develops a template for curriculum content. The third chapter discusses the ethics of testing in the curriculum alignment process, which matches the content and format of a test with that of the curriculum. Auditing the curriculum, a site-based form of evaluation, is described in chapter 4. A self-assessment form is included for determining a school's readiness to conduct a curriculum audit. Themes of the book are (1) that curriculum is a means to an end and that (2) it is a political as well as an educational activity. Nine figures and 5 tables are included. References accompany each chapter. (LMI)
