Abstract In this Second Edition of her bestseller, Christine Sleeter and new co-author Judith Flores Carmona show how educators can learn to teach rich, academically rigorous, multicultural curricula within a standards-based environment. The authors have meticulously updated each chapter to address current changes in education policy and practice. New vignettes of classroom practice have been added to illustrate how today's teachers navigate the Common Core State Standards. The book's field-tested conceptual framework elaborates on the following elements of curriculum design, ideology, enduring ideas, democratized assessment, transformative intellectual knowledge, students and their communities, intellectual challenges, and curriculum resources. Un-Standardizing Curriculum show teachers what they can do to "un-standardize" knowledge in their own classrooms, while working toward high standards of academic achievement. -- Provided by publisher.
