Fifty years since the publication of Toward a Poor Curriculum, William F. Pinar and Madeleine R. Grumet reflect on the ongoing need for a poor curriculum—one stripped of distractions such as technology to allow for the reflection and self-questioning at the heart of the book’s central methodology of currere. Featuring a brand-new preface cowritten by William F. Pinar and Madeleine R. Grumet, as well as revised chapters and a never-before included chapter on the four phases of currere, this anniversary edition invites scholars of curriculum theory and teaching methods to revisit the original essays and reconsider their relevance in light of present educational and political challenges.
William F. Pinar is Tetsuo Aoki Professor of Curriculum Studies at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
Madeleine R. Grumet, now retired, formerly served as Professor of Education and Dean at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
