Curriculum on the Edge of Survival

Focusing on the purpose of education, Daniel Heller argues that public education is deteriorating due to a neglect of essential curricular elements necessary for preparing students for active engagement in a dynamic society. Unlike other educational resources that emphasize procedural knowledge, this book explores the fundamental "what" and "why" of schooling in a democratic context, highlighting the importance of these questions in shaping curriculum decisions. The second edition aims to provoke critical thinking about the role of schools and their impact on democracy.
