Full of real stories and practical suggestions, this book searches for a curriculum that is at once inclusive, democratic, and empowering for teachers, students, and parents. Based on their one-year curricular experiment called the "McHome Team, " the authors -- two classroom teachers and a university professor -- describe their efforts to guide a middle-school class to co-create their own curriculum. Exploring their successes and challenges, the authors examine the implications their approach has for the study of integrated curricula and democratic schooling. Rather than relying on outside sources for curriculum decisions and justifications, the authors suggest that teachers turn to their students and to their own professional judgment to create possibilities for curriculum and teaching. A sample unit developed by the McHome Team and a helpful summary of the proposals for coherent curriculum conclude the volume.
