Curriculum first! And knowledge-rich please.

[Aiwendil · Rating 3 out of 5]

An important message and a well researched work. I do feel that given that I'm already a knowledge-rich kind of educator who is fairly well read on the topic, this book didn't give me a lot of new insights. I made 3 notes in total. But perhaps as I'm already a convert I'm not really in the target audience. Nevertheless, I think this would be an excellent book for those wanting to think deeper on the important thing that is curriculum.

So grateful to the authors for sharing this book so widely. I have been feeling the weight of designing a knowledge-building curriculum - so much pressure! - and this book offers great insight to help me make decisions that will benefit the students. Super succinct and readable - loved it!

Looking for an entry point in the cognitive science and educational philosophy underpinning knowledge rich curriculum? Look no further! I really enjoyed this open access text.
