collection is a multi-author anthology bringing together a wide range
of professionals from teaching, education leadership, policy and academia to
discuss the aims, impact and potential of a knowledge-rich curriculum approach
in schools.
With the goal of engaging school leaders, policymakers,
teachers and parents/carers alike, the collection presents contributions
ranging from subject-specific accounts of knowledge-rich excellence to
discussion of the role that a knowledge-rich curriculum can play in tackling
socio-economic disadvantage - alongside seeking to address criticism of a
knowledge-rich approach.
Focusing on the English education system, this timely
collection closely explores both the thinking underpinning a knowledge-rich
approach and the practical realities of its implementation. Comprising an
authoritative line-up of 17 authors, The value of a knowledge-rich
curriculum: An essay collection therefore sets out to detail how a
knowledge-rich approach translates into everyday school life, across both
primary and secondary education.
Writing from a variety of professional backgrounds, the
collection's authors draw on their experience to cover questions ranging from
the relevance of a knowledge-rich curriculum for all learners and the
conditions a knowledge-rich approach requires for success, to the challenges
that today's knowledge-rich education advocates face.
