Tips for Entry
Join a professional association such as the ASCD, http://www.ascd.org, and the American Council for Career and Technical Education, https://www.acteonline.org, to learn more about the curriculum coordinator profession and network with others in the field.
Ask your teachers how they come up with their curricula and what is involved in that process. Ask them if they know of a curriculum coordinator who would be interested in speaking with you about their work, and if it's possible to job shadow for a day.
