"Designing the School Curriculum takes a practical step-by-step approach, giving students the thorough grounding in the process that leads to confident and effective practitioners. The author emphasizes the discretionary judgment of the individual teacher and acknowledges that the curriculum design process is completed only in the unique and spontaneous learning exchanges between students and teachers. Practical ideas on the formation of school purposes, the design of school-wide experiences, effective implementation, and the creation of responsive evaluative mechanisms help students to fulfill the goal of the text - to design an authentic and effective curriculum."
