This Unit builds skills in the systematic analysis and critique of current curriculum policy, theory and practice. Students investigate curriculum culture drivers - philosophy, values and orientation - and relate these to the multiple perspectives of key stakeholders. Alternative models for curriculum design, construction, implementation and evaluation are explored along with practical models of curriculum change in real learning contexts. Students negotiate the setting in which they locate their curriculum inquiry in order that it becomes a worthwhile and practical task. The Unit is useful for people in a curriculum leadership role in a range of contexts, including schools. -- Course Website
