How Do Elementary- School Principals Learn about Curriculum Innovations?

The article presents information on a survey that was conducted to determine the magnitude of elementary school principals' role in the process of curriculum innovations. A total of 130 principals were randomly selected for the study. Most of the principals listed textbook salesmen as the best source of information. Respondents of the survey said that the role of a district curriculum director is also very important. Although elementary-school principals seemed to have insight into the weaknesses of the problems of the social studies curriculum, they do not seem to be aware of sources of information on curriculum.
