Description and Table of Contents

Description

The National Curriculum is now seen as the "minimum", rather than the "whole", curriculum. This text explores the issues which flow from this, looking particulary at what teachers, parents and others perceive to be "important", and what therefore demands a place in the curriculum, in both primary and secondary education - whether it be moral education, sport, "core skills", religious education and economic awareness - or the more narrowly competing demands of the National Curriculum subjects themselves. The book seeks to help teachers develop a balanced curriculum which can be justified to themselves, to governors, to parents and to OFSTED.
