This innovative text focuses on both theory and practical applications of curriculum. A chapter is devoted to each of the theoretical foundations of the narrative curriculum: a rationale of the broad goals of schooling, a constructivist perspective of learning, and the meaningful context provided by story. These foundational tenets are merged into a curriculum design that naturally integrates learning. The final chapter features numerous field tested examples of the curriculum. Consistent with the constructivist perspective, each chapter invites the reader to utilize prior knowledge, engage in experiences, and linger over ideas. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
