Rigorous and Relevant Curriculum Design 2019 (ICLE) 1st Edition

Very helpful with curriculum writing

I wouldn’t have bought this for pleasure reading on the beach. It was assigned for a graduate course. Easy to read and not too boring. Wasn’t something I would recommend though.

He book if you wish to understand diversity and how to become a better human being!

My book came in perfect shape and on time.

This book is a wonderful guide for those wanting to influence student learning in a meaningful way. Ainsworth and Donovan understand the importance of thinking deeply about a standards-based curriculum to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to learn. This book will help all who want to help teachers work collaboratively to design a curriculum that has a positive impact on student achievement.

THIS is the important work to improve student outcomes... focus, clarity and digging deep on what matters most. This is a terrific blend of research and practice.

Not quite what I was looking for for curriculum design.

If you subscribe to essentialist philosophies of education (you worship standardized tests and fetishize data) then this book is for you. If you lean progressive or reconstructionist, keep looking. Ainsworth believes the purpose of education is to have high test scores.
