Interdisciplinary Curriculum Challenges to Implementation

A group of leading educators examines the reputed merits of the interdisciplinary curriculum movement that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. Going beyond the platitudes, they explore the complex texture of what actually happens in the classroom when theory meets reality. Topics include: -- How teachers with diverse backgrounds come together to plan curricula-- What happens to school culture when an interdisciplinary effort is spear-headed by administrators-- What transpires when new curricula are put into practice either at the local school level or across major urban districts.Wineberg, Sam is the author of 'Interdisciplinary Curriculum Challenges to Implementation' with ISBN 9780807739884 and ISBN 080773988X.
