Curriculum planning & development; Teaching of special educational needs

Series: Centre for Educational Leadership and Management

Managing the Curriculum explores many of the new aspects of the core business of schools and colleges, i.e. the curriculum. Keeping the focus clearly on learning and teaching, David Middlewood and Neil Burton explore the practical issues for managers at institutional level, within the context of their need to understand and analyze key educational values and principles. Part one presents overviews of theories and models of curriculum, while Part two examines how these are applied through planning, monitoring and evaluating. Part three explores in detail the various managerial roles within schools and colleges from leaders to those responsible for cross-curriculum work and special educational needs. Part four discusses the importance of effectively managing resources for the curriculum - the environment, support staff and finance. The contributors use empirical research evidence to analyze current curriculum trends whilst proposing various new models which are likely to emerge in the twenty-first century.

Reviews for Managing the Curriculum

Timely and very relevant to classroom teachers and those training to be in the field. -- Anita Perry, Title I Teacher Gwen Doty has written a practical, usable, and timely book on a subject that can have tremendous impact on student achievement. Well worth the reading! -- Donna Walker Tileston `Each chapter in the book is firmly rooted in research and is well referenced as one would expect of such a book. It will be of particular use to people with an academic interest in this aspect of school management but will also be thought provoking for those who are involved in the development of the curriculum within their institution' - escalate
