Curriculum Revolutions is a tool to assist schools in creating, building and
maintaining a joined-up curriculum that is cohesive and coherent. Martin
Robinson’s unique curriculum wheel leads you through a continuous cycle
of planning, designing, delivering, reflecting upon and reviewing your
curriculum.
T
he process will involve your managers, teachers and pupils, ensuring
all understand the importance of a well-functioning curriculum as the
cornerstone of the school and the quality of education it delivers. Good
curriculum design is a collaborative affair, so each revolution of the wheel
focuses on how to get staff working together productively.
Most importantly, from a design point of view, Curriculum Revolutions
explores the potential pitfalls in the curriculum shape that a school adopts,
either consciously or unconsciously. Robinson argues that a sophisticated
understanding of the underlying structure, or ‘thought architecture’, can
make all the difference to the quality of the continuing, unfolding project of
good curriculum design.
