THE Resource for Curriculum Development, Reference, and Study
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
CURRICULUM ESSENTIALS is a resource book that pre-service teachers and graduate education-degree seeking students may find useful. The book is well-organized and is mostly concise providing many tools needed in studying, planning, and developing an educational curriculum. A list of important dates, synopsis of key figures, annotated bibliography, explanation of major theories, list of key school models, tables, models, charts, illustrations, and short synopsis of key research documents are just a sample of what is included in CURRICULUM ESSENTIALS. When I first looked through this book, I had just finished my pre-service teacher training and wasn't able to use it very much, but had really wished I had it a few months or years ago to help me with many of my curriculum papers and projects. Besides being a tool for education students at both the undergraduate and graduate level, CURRICULUM ESSENTIALS is also a good reference tool for school personnel.
