N2  - "Meeting the needs of today's learners and society requires us to transform education. That is the purpose of Powers of Curriculum. Powers of Curriculum challenges pre-service educators in the early childhood, primary and secondary phases of education to transform educational thinking and practices. It equips you with leading-edge sociological research, concepts and perspectives to critically examine the historical, social, cultural and political forces that shape the curriculum, learner experiences, and education systems. This new edition includes updated coverage of the Alice Springs [Mparntwe] Education Declaration and responds to recent world events and educational developments with references to the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and the datafication of education. It aims to support you in rising to the challenge of educating young people in systems of education that need transformation." -- back cover
