It's Time to Abolish Conventional Curriculum Guides.
English, Fenwick W.
Educational Leadership, v44 n4 p50-52 Dec-Jan 1986-87
Outlines the inadequacies of conventional curriculum guides. The emerging emphasis on the use of curriculum alignment is presented as a promising alternative with four major advantages: (1) local control of the curriculum, (2) textbook adoption by local needs, (3) better pupil achievement, and (4) simpler curriculum monitoring. Includes a reference list. (MD)
