In this book, Ben Williamson examines a series of contemporary curriculum innovations in the United States, Great Britain, and Australia that reflect the social and technological changes of the digital age. Arguing that the curriculum is always both forward- and rearward-looking, Williamson considers how each of these innovations represents a certain way of understanding the past while also promoting a particular vision of the future.The curriculum initiatives are all examples of what Williamson calls "centrifugal schooling," expressing a vision of education and learning that is decentered, distributed, and dispersed, emphasizing networks and connections. In centrifugal schooling, a curriculum is actively assembled and improvised from a heterogeneous mix of people, groups, coalitions, and institutional structures. Participants in curriculum design and planning include local governments, corporations, foundations, charities, and nongovernmental organizations. Among the curriculum innovations Williamson examines are High Tech High, a charter school network in San Diego that integrates technical and academic education; Opening Minds, a "competence-based" curriculum used in 200 British secondary schools; and Quest to Learn, a "school for digital kids" in New York City (with a sister school in Chicago). He also describes two major partnerships: the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, which advocates for "21st century readiness" for American students; and the Whole Education Alliance in Britain, a network of "third sector" educational organizations. 001385783 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385783 650_0 $$aEducation$$xCurricula. 001385783 650_0 $$aCurriculum planning. 001385783 650_0 $$aEducation$$xEffect of technological innovations on. 001385783 650_0 $$aDigital media. 001385783 653__ $$aEDUCATION/Digital Media & Learning 001385783 653__ $$aEDUCATION/General 001385783 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385783 852__ $$bebk 001385783 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9457.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385783 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385783 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385783$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385783 980__ $$aBIB 001385783 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385783 982__ $$aEbook 001385783 983__ $$aOnline
