Description: The aim of the editors of this volume is to encourage reflective and critical thinking about the teaching of curriculum through the contributions of some of the best-known curriculum scholars and the respected teachers whom they have most influenced: Frances Klein, William Doll, Andrea Bowman, Nelson Haggerson, Ken Kantor, Janet Miller, George Wood, Landon Beyer, William Pink, Robert Donmoyer, Jean Erdman, Edmund Short, William Schubert, Paul Shaker, Craig Kridel, Arthur Foshay and Louise Berman. Educational empowerment through curriculum studies is their common theme, as the contributors address the question: what are the critical concepts, related teaching resources, and predagogical techniques that curriculum teachers should incorporate into their courses?
Notes: Includes bibliographies and index.
