Who Decides? The Basic Policy Issue by Richard W. Clark - 1988Generally
speaking, most of
those who speak from the national and state level make statements of
broad priorities. The specific events of the instructional episode,
including the content students are expected to learn, are ultimately
decided by the classroom teacher. A case can be made that the student
is the ultimate decider in that he or she may willfully tune out or
become involved in the intended curriculum, thus determining the "real" curriculum. However, our focus will remain on what is
intended for students. Each of these decisions is a significant one and
could be studied for its own sake. To some extent, as was obvious in
the commentary on the drug abuse curriculum, the decision made at
each level interacts with the decisions made at other levels. To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 87, No. 1. |
