Customer Rating: 
Summary: Needed for Grad Class
Comment: Pretty good read... if you like reading all about curriculum. Some of the articles seem to talk in circles, but most are good - ALL of them make you think.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Curriculum Studies
Comment: This book contains a nice cross section of articles about important issues in curriculum studies from the last hundred years to the present.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Essential for an educator's library
Comment: Thornton & Flinders have assembled a sterling collection of original writing by the icons of American Education. Their commentary is scholarly; their selection only slightly influenced by their fondness for Eisner. Otherwise it is absolutely the best and most frugal single volume an educator could have for foundational writings.
Reading the original is so much more satisfying than the pre-digested summaries in textbooks, and these writers for the most part express their own theories quite well without interpretation. I've seen it used in graduate studies more often than undergrad, but it would be very appropriate for a high quality teacher preparation program in a liberal arts school that emphasizes literature and perennial concepts.

The Curriculum Studies Reader collects for the first time significant works by the leading scholars in the field. Beginning with the emergence of curriculum as a distinctive field of inquiry, it follows the main currents of thought through the turmoil of the curriculum reform era and on to current trends. The editors have taken great care to select writings that reflect the diversity and scope of curriculum theory, research and practice, particularly contemporary issues such as multiculturalism, AIDS education, and national standards. This collection provides a firm base from which to view the field and survey its future.
