Bücher von David W. Jardine

Presents a collection of essays by noted curriculum scholar and philosopher of education, David W. Jardine. It ranges over twenty-five years of work with teachers and students in schools. The main purpose of these essays is to provide teachers with new ways of thinking about their circumstances that side step some of the panic and exhaustion that is all too typical of many school settings.

Deals with an ecological-interpretive image of 'the basics'. This title presents essays detailing everyday, lived events in classroom life to help readers see beneath the surface ordinariness of these events to uncover and examine the underlying complex and contested meanings they contain.

Addresses curriculum and teaching topics, such as mathematics, science, environmental education, social studies, language arts, and the arts curriculum. This book also sheds light on the issues that arise from inviting student-teachers and practicing teachers into the idea of curriculum of abundance.
