The intent
of this book is to strengthen the professional role teachers play
in curriculum planning and development, a process central to teacher
activity and responsibility. Contextual narratives, document analysis,
the use of metaphor, personal rules, principles, beliefs, images,
and philosophy are all described for use in hands-on exercises.
The book contains case studies and useful school-based examples
of how individual teachers at all levels of the curriculum draw
on their own experience for planning curriculum and instruction.
The concept of narrative is underlined throughout as a key to discovering
how teachers and students make meaning in their lives. (JD)
