The entire programme is based on a practitioner-centric curriculum which is grounded in the needs and contextual issues of schools in the States and the diversity therein. Within the Curriculum Framework, a Handbook on school leadership development has been created which is a rich resource and a reference designed to equip current scool leaders to transform schools of today and prepare prospective leaders in succession to meet the future challenges.
