Opis

Negotiating the Curriculum presents a continuing international conversaton about the theory and practice of curriculum negotiating in the classroom at elementary, primary, secondary and university levels. It focuses on the art and science of teaching which will increase students power and performance. In doing so, attention is given to questions of student motivation and engagement, the quality of learning, curriculum programming strategies for classroom organization and issues of student assessment. It shows how the ideal and the actual, with all the constraints that apply, can be linked to produce a dynamic, productive and resilient form of teaching and learning, fitted for the 21st century.
