Product reviews for Reclaiming the Curriculum

Reclaiming the Curriculum shares the stories of schools who have defied the temptation to teach for inspection and instead pursued the values of creativity, content depth and connection with the real world. The 18 inspirational case studies show us what schooling can be like when teachers have the courage to follow a passion for knowledge and deep learning, and not only occasionally but as the guiding force in the life of the school. Bill Laar and Jackie Holderness also reveal the qualities and strategies that connect these widely varying stories, giving readers a guide along the road less travelled.
