For courses in Curriculum Development (K-12)

This eclectic, balanced approach reflects the major emergent trends in the field of curriculum. An issues-oriented collection of 36 articles by the major thinkers in curriculum study, it explores the issues that affect successful implementation, planning, and evaluation of curriculum at all levels of learning.

Organised into six Parts - Curriculum and Philosophy, Curriculum and Teaching, Curriculum and Learning, Curriculum and Instruction, Curriculum and Supervision, and Curriculum and Policy - the readings reflect both traditionally held assumptions as well as those more controversial in nature. Students and practitioners have the opportunity to turn to a single source to investigate the breadth of issues that affect curriculum, examine and debate the issues, formulate their own ideas, and help shape the future direction of the field.
