Summary: Curriculum Improvement
Review: The book Curriculum Improvement Decision Making & Process gave a wonderful insight into planning a curriculum unit. The history of curriculum was discussed and its progression throughout the years. I also liked the idea that a wealth of information was covered that is very relevant in designing a curriculum for today's students.
As a classroom teacher it helped to understanding that planning a curriculum unit must be very comprehensive.

Review: I discovered many new aspects of the curriculum that I had not considered in my current career as a middle school teacher. The book is filled with page after page of ideas that would be extremely helpful for a new administrator, especially one who will play a part in determining curriculum for his/her school. The text not only describes the definition of curriculum and its related aspects, but gives a history of curriculum, and sites many examples to demonstrate meaning. Its division into two separate parts is also helpful to keep ideas separated into the designing and decision-making phases, and the planning and actual processes involved in changing or creating a new curriculum.

Summary: Curriculum Improvement: Decision Making and Process by Doll
Review: This text is a good resource for designing or improving the school curriculum. However, I found that the information in the chapters could have possibly been condensed to form a shorter textbook. The price is also too expensive.

Summary: Great Read!
Review: Doll- I thought the Doll book was very imformative. It
was pretty easy reading, unlike some other textbooks I
have had. As a special education teacher, I would have
liked to see a bit more information on curriculum for
speacial education classes. As a special education
teacher, it is not always easy to adapt text for the
regular classroom to fit our needs.

Summary: Review of Doll Text
Review: The Doll Text was full of information. At times I found
the writing to be dry, but the information was very
useful and tied in with the other information we have
covered in all our classes so far. A large amount of
'hands-on' examples helped to clarify points and
increase understanding of concepts and developments in
curriculum.
