10 Great Curricula is a collection of stories written by educators who have come to understand curricula differently as a result of theirengagement with a graduate course and its instructor. The book represents the best of what can be found in teaching and learning, ingeneral, and in the quest for meaningful ways to understand curricula in particular.The co-authors of this volume on "10 Great Curricula" framed their inquiries into progressive, democratic curricula, at least initially,through Marsh and Willis' (2007) notions of planned, enacted, and lived curricula. These frames helped the writers think about how toengage a curriculum as it is developed, delivered, and lived by its participants, and for the inquirers to actually become participantinquirersin the curriculum at hand. The chapters depict the power, the possibility, and the transformational potential of "great"progressive curricula today by locating them in schools and in the community, by making them come alive to the reader, and bysuggesting means through which the reader can adopt a more progressive, democratic stance to curriculum despite the seeminglyoverwhelming nature of the conservative, traditionalist, instrumentalist movements in curriculum, teaching, and assessment today. Thebook is intended for students of education, teaching, and curriculum, undergraduates, graduates, and practicing educationalprofessionals, especially those looking for examples in the world in which progressive,democratic ideals are nurtured and practiced.
