Content Counts: Making the Case for a National Curriculum

A thought-provoking book that exposes the curricular gaps in our country's public schools as well as the attempts at reform that have failed to bridge them. Highlighting the overemphasis on skill-based instruction that appears in our current standards, teacher evaluation rubrics and professional development manuals, Robinson smartly argues for a more uniform and rigorous curriculum that figures to reduce confusion, restore dignity to the teaching profession, and ultimately produce a well-educated citizenry.
