It is designed to foster awareness, examination, and deliberation about the curricula planned for and carried out in classrooms and schools; to inspire conversations about theory and practice as well as political, social, and moral issues; and to expand critical consciousness about approaches to curriculum and practice. Readers are encouraged to give serious attention to the issues this book raises for them, and to join with their colleagues, students, and communities in considering how to create curricula with purpose and congruent practices and to reculture classrooms and schools. A framework of inquiry is presented to facilitate such reflection and to accomplish these goals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCultures of Curriculum, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces the field of curriculum studies by describing theories and questions pertinent to curriculum inquiry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the process of curriculum leadership drawing from historical and contemporary research on curriculum change and transformation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the concept of cultures of curriculum as a way of thinking of curriculum as cultural text encompassing histories, norms, beliefs, values, roles, and environments. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects theory to practice by describing curricular orientations as depicted in practice, providing educators with approaches to instruction, planning, and assessment for creating intentional practices in classrooms and schools \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses a heuristic that helps educators to understand curricular orientations, examine curriculum in classrooms and schools, and reflect upon their own beliefs and practices \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates moral and political discourse into discussions of curriculum orientations so that educators can recognize, question, and challenge aims and actions by examining dominant paradigms and both their direct and unforeseeable influences upon schooling \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChanges in the second edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour new chapters - \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Narrowing the Curriculum\" (current trends of standardization and high-stakes testing)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Educating Through Occupations (Deweyan progressive and career\/technical education)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Sustaining Indigenous Traditions\" (Native American\/indigenous education)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Envisioning Peace\" (peace, global, human rights, environmental education)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdates and pertinent scholarship in all chapters reflecting recent events and discourses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCurricular cultures all are examples of progressive alternatives to traditional education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew two-part structure: Curriculum Studies and Curricular Cultures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePamela Bolotin Joseph\u003c\/strong\u003e is a principal lecturer in the Education Program, University of Washington Bothell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 08, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453608280242,"sku":"9780415991872","price":124.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/4bfdfec72ba2bc2de79561f094123d4d.webp?v=1778834883","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/cultures-of-curriculum-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
