Reviews
‘This book offers a comprehensive exploration of educational policies and curriculum development in the UK over the past 50 years. By including contributions from experts across primary, secondary and higher education, as well as from different regions of the UK, the book provides a rich and diverse perspective on how education has evolved. The inclusion of insights from policymakers, academics and curriculum advisors further adds depth to the analysis. If you are interested in education policy or curriculum design, this book could be a valuable resource. It offers both a historical overview and a thoughtful critique of various changes in educational approaches. The chapters are likely to spark further conversations about how education curriculums need to meet the demands of our ever-changing world. This edited collection might even inspire new themes and areas of focus for research, as well as advance new methods and theoretical perspectives for designing evidence-based and effective curriculum.’ -- Nadia Siddiqui, Professor in the School of Education, Durham University ‘Either as an aide-memoire, seminar starters or first steps in school curriculum projects, Curriculum in a Changing World is to be commended for its scope, quality and alignment with modern reading habits. The section on school-based curriculum innovation stands out – expounding Stenhouse in action and showing the understanding teachers need to develop the curriculum, using knowledge of climate change, threshold concepts and educational theory. The collaborative process described by Howard would accommodate NQTs as “practical theorisers” and provide the space and time for sensemaking or coaching which leads to professional satisfaction. This book outlines thoughtful starters on all these issues.’ -- Beth Dickson, Member of the Board of Initial Teacher Education for the Education Workforce Council in Wales
