Hopefully you see the complexity of curriculum work - particularly at the national level - by reading the history of the Eight-Year Study. While Tyler's work may make curriculum development appear fairly matter-of-fact on the surface, you can see through this description of the work of the 30's and 40's that it was anything but simple and matter-of-fact.

With that in mind, highlight one debate or tension evident throughout the Study and the various commissions associated with it. What principles seem to be at issue within the tension or debate? How does it inform us about curriculum policy work today?

Last response - comment and then "converse" naturally throughout the week.
