The idea of implementing interdisciplinary curriculum is, to many educators, tantamount to a nightmare: too few resources, too little time, too many disparate issues to deal with. In Planning Integrated Curriculum: The Call to Adventure, Susan Drake sets out to redefine the implementation of an integrated course of study: it is not, she contends, an impossible battle, but rather an epic journey, with the curriculum planner as a modern-day Ulysses. Apart from offering guidance and encouragement to curriculum integrators, this book functions as a framework of sorts for interdisciplinary curriculum development. By documenting the experiences of several North American school districts, Drake provides her readers with clear-cut analyses of specific data and with suggestions for using the data as a blueprint for action.
