From the rear cover
In this eclectic, balanced approach to the major emergent trends in the field, a diversity of leaders in the field provides a variety of opinions and thoughts on curriculum issues. An issues-oriented collection of 36 articles by the major thinkers in curriculum study, Contemporary Issues in Curriculum, 6/e looks at issues that affect successful implementation, planning, and evaluation of curriculum at all levels of learning. Organized 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. Some of the issues NEW to this edition include:
- What it means to say a school is doing well.
- The Common Core Curriculum.
- The influence of changing demographics in the United States.
- Claims that other countries do a better job of educating their students for the future.
- Ways of helping students learn to their highest potential.
- The usefulness of the traditional high school diploma.
- Research-based practices for inducting new teachers.
- Practices for getting teachers and staff to perform at their highest levels.
- Provocative questions about societal changes.
