Drawing upon curriculum studies and utilizing curricular concepts, this book provides a framework for teachers interested in imagining, enacting, and reflecting upon their daily practices in ways that defy the standardization and bureaucratic management of curriculum and instruction, and responds to the needs and interests of their local contexts.
Although the specific experiences of teachers can vary significantly based on factors such as location, district policies, and community dynamics, the current socio-political landscape surrounding educational institutions from pre-K through higher education de-professionalizes educators. Instead of providing an ideological critique of this state of affairs, this book provides practitioners with a pragmatic framework that empowers them to critically and creatively engage curriculum in ways that are meaningful within their particular contexts.
