However, the history of curriculum planning suggests that existing conceptualizations are sometimes confusing, imprecise, or not as helpful as they might be. There is a need for a new conceptualization that overcomes the limitations of these earlier conceptions. Through conceptual analysis and concept development, the author presents curriculum planning as a form of educational practice distinct from other practices such as teaching, administration, and policy making. Short''s \"grammar of curriculum practice\" describes a set of key concepts and the meaningful relationships among them that define the essential elements of curriculum and of curriculum planning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039802458455,"sku":"9781438493466","price":65.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781438493466.jpg?v=1750944899","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/toward-a-grammar-of-curriculum-practice-9781438493466","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
