Curriculum:
Issues and Innovations
Spring 2009 Vol.2 No.2

The current issue presents texts that we hope will help educators more deeply understand the meaning and responsibility of curriculum in our schools and the wider community.

The journal is available in three formats. The interactive version allows readers to turn pages, hear authors read their work, enjoy podcasts, and experience other media. The pdf version is easy to download and print. Printed, bound copies are also available. They can be purchased at lulu.com in black and white and colour, and are priced at the cost of printing.
