Primer on Curriculum
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Lots of articles by the greats in curriculum today. I am awe=struck by the materials presented in this book. I had no idea the state of education today. This book will help open your eyes to what NCLB is doing to our schools and our children.

Essential for an educator's library
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Thornton & Flinders have assembled a sterling collection of original writing by the icons of American Education. Their commentary is scholarly; their selection only slightly influenced by their fondness for Eisner. Otherwise it is absolutely the best and most frugal single volume an educator could have for foundational writings. Reading the original is so much more satisfying than the pre-digested summaries in textbooks, and these writers for the most part express their own theories quite well without interpretation. I've seen it used in graduate studies more often than undergrad, but it would be very appropriate for a high quality teacher preparation program in a liberal arts school that emphasizes literature and perennial concepts.
