This review is from: Toward a Coherent Curriculum (1995 ASCD Yearbook) (Paperback)
This book provides the reader with an array of diverse perspectives on the concept of coherence in curriculum. In many of the chapters examples of how certain communities approached the issue are explained in well illustrated operative terms. There are also chapters devoted to the theoretical aspects of coherence and incoherence in curriculum. I found that this book connects well to James Beane's Curriculum Integration and writings by L. Thomas Hopkins such as his Integration: Its Meaning and Application. These works also connect well to writings by Arthur Combs, Earl Kelly, and Carl Rogers. What is so remarkable about this 1995 ASCD Yearbook are the diverse perspectives offered by notables such as James Beane, Maxine Greene, Grant Wiggins and others. While the perspectives are diverse the voices speak in harmony.
