Is there an ‘ideal’ primary school curriculum?
Who should decide what the curriculum is?
Should teachers have autonomy over how they teach?
The curriculum is the heart of what teachers teach and learners learn: effective teaching is only possible with an effective curriculum. Yet in spite of its importance, there has been a crisis in curriculum that has been caused in large part by governments assuming direct control over the curriculum, assessment, and increasingly, pedagogy.
Creating the Curriculum tackles this thorny issue head on, challenging student and practising primary school teachers to think critically about past and present issues and to engage with a new wave of curriculum thinking and development. Considering curriculum construction and its impact on teaching and learning in the four countries of the UK, key issues considered include:
Illustrated throughout with strategies and case studies from the classroom, Creating the Curriculum accessibly links the latest research and evidence with concrete examples of good practice. It is a timely exploration of what makes an effective and meanginful curriculum and how teachers can bring new relevance, motivation and powerful values to what they teach.

"Creating the Curriculum is a stimulating, informed, provocative, well-referenced and accessible collection of writing. The focus of the book is a consideration of curriculum construction and the impact of the primary school curriculum on teaching and learning in the four countries of the UK. Central to the success of this book, however, is that, in addition to providing a careful summative historical setting for the discussion of issues affecting schools now and in the future, the writers never lose sight of the fact that, at every opportunity, we need to listen to children." - John Senior, Gifted Education International
