Riassunto

Crafting a Curriculum of Coherence is a transformative guide that equips educators with the knowledge and tools to create a new kind of educational journey for children and young people, informed by the unique insights of Steiner Waldorf education.

Drawing upon years of experience, expertise and research, the authors present a step-by-step guide for curriculum renewal, design and delivery to create meaningful, coherent learning experiences that inspire and empower learners. The chapters offer a new way of conceiving skills as knowledgeable action with purpose. They cover a potentialities and competencies approach, which makes learning truly holistic, and a layered curriculum model that moves from philosophy to classroom practice, enabling the development of coherent curriculum in any social or cultural setting. Featuring real-life examples, case studies, and thought-provoking exercises, the book encourages readers to think critically and creatively about education.

Exploring the interplay between curriculum design, pedagogy and assessment, this is an indispensable resource for educators who are dedicated to shaping a world where every child and young person can flourish.
