Reconceptualizing Curriculum Development

This text provides accessible, clear guidance on curriculum problem solving and educational leadership through the practice of a synoptic curriculum study. This practice integrates three influential interpretations of curriculum¿curriculum as deliberative artistry, curriculum as complicated conversation, and curriculum as currere¿with John Dewey¿s lifetime work on reflective inquiry. At its heart, the book advances a way of studying as a way of living with reference to the question: How might I live as a democratic educator?
