An Ambitious Secondary School Curriculum
Пра гэту электронную кнігу
This book addresses key issues such as the purpose of the curriculum, how to organise the curriculum, curriculum design, how to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of all learners, and the balance between knowledge and skills. An important and topical chapter on decolonising the curriculum is also included. It goes beyond basic requirements, emphasizing the importance of a creative, pupil-centred and enquiry-based curriculum which is suited to the context of school communities. Responding to the increased emphasis on the quality of pupils’ education, the book supports trainees, teachers and school leaders in developing and implementing an ambitious and diverse curriculum, including working with all stakeholders and offering practical strategies and solutions. It empowers practitioners to reclaim the curriculum by designing one which reflects the values and context of the school.
