This volume integrates critical curriculum theory with best practice -- extending John Deweys and Maxine Greenes progressive educational philosophy into the domain of curriculum theory and practice. The authors select four significant theoretical topics, and then apply this knowledge to the work of practitioners. The practice of these educators is examined closely to determine how they engage in reflective practice, collaborative decision-making, and curriculum construction informed by diverse curriculum studies.
