Abstract

This article traces the career of one teacher through his involvement in a number of school based curriculum design innovations.

The discussion also regrets the lack of a robust contemporary debate around the nature of curriculum and illuminates a lack of coherence and understanding of criteria for selecting curriculum content in our schools today.
