The Struggle for the American Curriculum, 1893-1958
In this book, Steven J. Gross examines 10 exemplary curriculum development sites, ranging from those that follow detailed state guidelines to those with few external mandates. From their richly varied experiences, Gross identifies common characteristics that lead to success, as well as some key traits of effective administrators, teachers, and community groups. In addition, he provides specific strategies for dealing with the disruption that nearly always accompanies innovation.
The creativity, energy, and determination found at each of these sites is inspiring and proves that, even in challenging times, educators can lead curriculum efforts that will make a difference for the students and communities they serve.
