Overview

Developing the Curriculum is a practical, step-by-step guide of the entire curriculum development process. It guides readers through all the aspects of developing a curriculum, from the underlying principles and concepts to the roles of school personnel, the components of the process, uses of technology and current issues that are shaping the field. The textbook includes both traditional and contemporary approaches to give you a comprehensive, balanced look at the theories and evidence-based practices demonstrated to be effective curriculum specialists and instructional leaders.

Now featuring a new lead author and coauthor, the 9th Edition keeps readers up to date on the continually evolving field of curriculum development.
