Summary: Juanito Napari's Review
Review: The book titled "Curriculum Improvement" 9th edition by Ronald C. Doll, provides basic understanding in curriculum planning. It gives the reader the historical, philosophical, and psychological aspects of curriculum making. I got some information in this book that helps me create my assignment about curriculum and guide me on the basic steps in curriculum making. However, the text needs updated information about the curriculum changes and the causes of these changes that is happening in our Elementary and Secondary Education. It also needs more examples of model curriculum rather than just explanation and definition of terms.

Summary: Curriculum Improvement Review
Review: This is an excellent resource for various applications and generalities of information about curriculum issues, problems and design. However, for some of us to have a concrete example from an actual district or school which chose or developed a curricula in one field of study such as science, math, reading, English, foreign language would be most beneficial.

Summary: Learning Curriculum
Review: This text by Ronald C. Doll is a valid resource for learning about curriculum methods and concepts. The author covers the history of curriculum development in the United States. He explores the psychological, social and cultural forces that impact on the modern school curriculum. He leads the reader through the planning, monitoring and adjusting of curriculum. The information provided by the author is excellent. The writing is good and the text is readable. The biggest complaint I had from reading this book was the length of the chapters. I felt the author could have shortened some chapters into two shorter ones which would be more easily digestible.

Review: The book Curriculum Improvement: Decision Making and Process (9th Edition)
by Ronald C. Doll is an excellent resource to use when a teacher is looking for different or improved ways of improving the curriculum they use. The entire process is detailed from the beginning to the end for creating a curriculum outline or improving an already existing one. It starts with explaining the meaning and foundations of curriculum, through the planning process, and finishing with how the teacher can learn the nature and strategies of curriculum leadership. This book was a very useful resource for creating my first Interdisciplinary Thematic Unit.
