Sense, Nonsense and the National Curriculum by Sir Michael Barber

Sense, Nonsense and the National Curriculum by Sir Michael Barber

After four years of the National Curriculum, much comment and criticism has emerged with teachers in a constant state of flux as changes are continually being implemented. From the Right and from the government it has been attacked as representing the work of primarily the education establishment. The National Curriculum Council has been at the forefront - the scapegoat for over-ambition, over-design and assessment over the top. The contributors to this book aim to provide different viewpoints and experiences to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses, the gains and losses and so provide an informed view on the way forward. The text should be of interest to those involved in education and the National Curriculum, primary and secondary teacher educators, policy makers and educational administrators.

Michael Barber completed his PhD at Yale University in 1985. He is Professor of Philosophy at St. Louis University, where he also held for five years the position of Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He is the author of 6 books and over 70 articles on the phenomenology of the social world. His biography of Alfred Schutz, The Participating Citizen, won the Ballard Prize in 2007.
