Curriculum Revolutions is a tool to assist schools in creating,
building and maintaining a joined-up curriculum that is cohesive and
coherent. Martin Robinson's unique curriculum wheel leads you through a
continuous cycle of planning, designing, delivering, reflecting upon and
reviewing your curriculum.
T
he process will involve your managers, teachers and pupils, ensuring all
understand the importance of a well-functioning curriculum as the
cornerstone of the school and the quality of education it delivers. Good
curriculum design is a collaborative affair, so each revolution of the
wheel focuses on how to get staff working together productively.
Most importantly, from a design point of view, Curriculum Revolutions
explores the potential pitfalls in the curriculum shape that a school
adopts, either consciously or unconsciously. Robinson argues that a
sophisticated understanding of the underlying structure, or 'thought
architecture', can make all the difference to the quality of the
continuing, unfolding project of good curriculum design.
