Recenzii
‘Ruth Ashbee has produced the guide that senior leaders urgently need. She manages to show both why subject-sensitivity matters and how leaders can transcend subjects to find intellectual and practical coherence. The reader is also guided through subjects’ complex relationships with changing culture, and the attendant responsibilities leaders must exercise. Thus, her respect for the truth quests and traditions of subject communities unlocks bigger educational thinking.’

‘Has there ever been an aspect of education more misunderstood, more neglected and more important than curriculum? For many years ’the curriculum’ was broadly synonymous with the timetable and the subjects a school offered. For teachers, the job of thinking about what children would study was outsourced to exam boards and DfE documents. But times they are a-changin’. The past few years has seen many school leaders and teachers begin to come to terms with the extent of their ignorance on this most crucial aspect of children’s education and there has been an explosion of interest in curriculum thinking. In the scramble to try to work out what it means to plan, implement and evaluate a curriculum, there a have been a range of very useful books published but none are quite so coherent and useful as Ruth Ashbee’s. If you read one book on curriculum let it be this one. Curriculum offers an essential handbook for thinking about how the school subjects are organised, what makes each unique and marvellous, and how to how to induct students into the wonderful business of making meaning. I have little doubt it will bestride the narrow educational world like a colossus for many years to come.’
David Didau, Education Writer and Speaker
‘The perfect antidote to the tired old generic books that focus on curriculum because of inspection or accountability, and one that will challenge and demand that senior leaders do better. Ruth Ashbee has curated a demanding curriculum for all those - and she makes clear that should be everyone in school leadership - for those who have a direct interest in the substance of what pupils learn in school. For teachers and leaders, this book shows Ashbee to be to curriculum what Lemov is to pedagogy and Willingham is to cognitive science. Brilliant.’
