study,narrative on the development of curriculum leadership of four primary school teaching and research staff from different subjects.Research on the curriculum understanding and curriculum leadership of primary school teaching and research staff and the curriculum problems encountered in practice.Firstly,the thesis expounds the background of the development of curriculum leadership of primary school teaching and research staff from the perspective of the times,inevitability and necessity,establishes the connotation of curriculum leadership of primary school teaching and research staff and the curriculum leadership development of primary school teaching and research staff,and expounds the significance of curriculum leadership development.From the two aspects of adult
