Managing Curriculum and Assessment: A Practitioner's Guide

This practitioners' guide and the accompanying CD provide the basic elements of a curriculum management system that will help school districts address, in a practical manner, the need to improve student learning. The emphasis throughout the book on alignment of written, taught, and tested curriculum provides a framework for quality control of a district's educational program. The guidance draws heavily on the foundations of curriculum management, initiated and developed by Fenwick English. The authors offer concrete resources from the many school systems where they have taught, observed, trained, and/or coached educators to implement the changes necessary to dramatically improve student achievement.
