Author Biography Review "Badley uses Alexanders seminal patterns of architecture as a powerful metaphor for curriculum and provides a unique lens for teachers to design learning. Each chapter reveals how teachers can engage architectural principles to create compelling learning experiences that draw in learners just as we are drawn into a beautiful building. The writing is witty and clever; how often does a curriculum book make one laugh out loud?"—Jodi Nickel, Chair of the Department of Education at Mount Royal University, Canada, and Past President of the Canadian Association of Teacher Education"Ken Badley gives us a much-needed fresh take on designing for instruction that opens up spaces and rhythms missed by a narrow focus on mechanical learning objectives or mere planning of topics and time blocks. I will be returning to this thought-provoking volume often!"—David I. Smith, Director of the Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning at Calvin College, USA Review Quote "Badley uses Alexander Details ISBN1138504726 Author Ken Badley Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2018 ISBN-10 1138504726 ISBN-13 9781138504721 Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Subtitle Building Elegant Courses and Units Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations 40 Line drawings, black and white; 74 Halftones, black and white; 114 Illustrations, black and white DEWEY 375.001 Pages 216 Short Title Curriculum Planning with Design Language Language English Publication Date 2018-10-09 AU Release Date 2018-10-09 NZ Release Date 2018-10-09 UK Release Date 2018-10-09 Alternative 9781138504714 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
