At a time marked by strong demands for educational reform, the
American school curriculum is a topic of special concern. This
volume provides a comprehensive historical record of the evolution
of the curriculum in America from the colonial period to the
present day. The editors have compiled a collection of influential
and representative documents in primary, secondary, and higher
education in the United States. Each document is introduced by a
short essay that discusses its historical context and significance.
The result is a valuable chronicle of the development of the
American school curriculum.
The work begins with an introductory piece that overviews the
development of the curriculum and surveys the most important works
on curriculum history. The introduction is followed by excerpts
from 34 documents representative of the school curriculum from "The
Rules and Course of Study of Harvard College," 1642 to the 1983
report, "A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform."
The essay that introduces each document closes with a brief
bibliography, and the volume concludes with a more extensive list
of sources for further reading. By consulting this reference,
historians and educators can trace the development of the
curriculum over the last 350 years.
