The revision of the curriculum to meet the needs of the twenty-first century is the theme of this book. It puts forward a powerful case for making the learning process the major focus of the curriculum, and describes how traditional ways of developing curriculum, instruction, parental involvement, decision-making, assessment, teaching and teacher education would be different in a process-oriented learning organization.
