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.

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.
