Deciding What to Teach and Test: Developing, Aligning, and Auditing the Curriculum (Vol 4 of the Successful Schools Series)

This comprehensive book explores the day-to-day problems school teachers and administrators encounter in the area of curriculum, instruction and evaluation.

Developing curriculum is a political as well as an educational activity and practitioners should be aware of `hidden′ political realities and value systems at work in their schools. In this book, the author proposes that there are three forms of curricula: formal, informal and hidden, with manifestations of these forms in the written, taught and tested curricula. English shows how these elements are brought together in developing curriculum.
