With an array of thoughtful new features and content, the Seventh Edition now: * Profiles thinkers and resources who are energizing the field with "new departures" that deviate from the established views or prevailing thought discussed in each chapter * Covers political ideologies, the conflicts over school subject matter, and data-driven decision making at state, district, school and classroom levels * Examines the functioning of schools and media as democratic institutions and the relationship of citizens and the political system * Discusses the impact of the privatization of schooling and the world-wide growth of the "Silent Curriculum" With a balanced presentation of humanistic, social reconstructionist, systemic, and academic perspectives and fresh insights into key curriculum questions, Contemporary Curriculum: In Thought and Action, Seventh Edition comprises an excellent foundation for every educator from master's to doctoral level.
