Originally published in 1983. Written by an experienced headteacher and curriculum consultant, this book was written to help schools with the task of planning their whole curriculum - teachers, governors, administrators and students. It provides information on national educational policies of the time, approaches to curriculum planning, and the structures of actual schools. The Department of Education and Science had just issued Circular 6 of 1981, which called upon education authorities, governing bodies, heads and the staffs of schools ‘to secure a planned and coherent curriculum within the schools’. The book describes the background to this development; spells out the tasks involved; provides a series of exercises for planning and discussion; and offers ideas, questions and methods. It recognises the diversity of school circumstances, and talks about the vital transition from theory to practice.

This book builds an easy-to-understand rural school curriculum interpretation framework and operational ideas, based on the policy foundation and practical experience of basic education curriculum reform. It draws on classic curriculum theoretical models, and serves as a practical reference book for readers interested in curriculum theories and practical operation. This book addresses questions around the topics of curriculum tasks of rural schools, how to formulate curriculum planning to complete rural school curriculum tasks creatively, how course implementation works, and how to conduct both course evaluation and course management. It adheres to the ideological concept of the unity of knowledge and action and helps to promote the internal and external response of the rural school curriculum in terms of theoretical understanding and practical operation.
