This essential guide explores curriculum redesign, offering practical tools and insights for educators. Curriculum Development encourages collaboration and critical thinking in curriculum design.

In Curriculum Development, the authors delve into the complexities of curriculum design, addressing the pressing issues that educators face today. This book serves as a vital resource for practitioners, scholars, and academics who are eager to enhance their understanding of how to effectively redesign or propose changes to curriculum structures, shapes, and content. By grounding their discussions in both theory and philosophy, the authors provide a well-rounded perspective on this often contentious subject.

One of the key features of Curriculum Development is its practical approach. The authors offer a variety of planning templates that can be utilized by educators to facilitate their curriculum design processes. Additionally, the book encourages analysis, discussion, and experimentation, fostering a collaborative environment for learning and growth. Reflective questions and definitions of key terms are included to further enhance comprehension and engagement.

Moreover, the authors draw on their extensive experience in curriculum design and evaluation from around the globe, incorporating real-world examples and case materials. This not only enriches the reader's understanding but also provides concrete applications of the concepts discussed. Overall, Curriculum Development is an essential guide for anyone involved in the educational field, aiming to navigate the challenges of curriculum reform with confidence and insight.

This interesting book provides those involved in curriculum development, enactment and evaluation with a useful overview and checklist of important themes that can support their work. These themes are informed by the author’s involvement in a range of curriculum development experiences in the UK and elsewhere. Emphasis is placed on the broader goals of education, with a clear warning on the invidious impact of educational reforms that focus narrowly on attainment standards.
