This work is a practical and comprehensive guide to designing and developing curriculum for both students and classroom teachers. The major aspects of curriculum development are laid out chapter by chapter in a logical fashion. Particular emphasis is placed on curriculum implementation and change. To devise a curriculum document is only part of the process - those who wish their curricula to succeed must be involved with implmentation and the changes that result. The second edition of this text has been updated to incorporate recent developments in curriculum policy and practice. It includes a new chapter on approaches to curriculum design, as well as more classroom examples.
