The approach to curriculum development presented in this book remains as relevant and helpful to educators today as when it was originally published in 1949. The new foreword by leading education scholar Peter S. Hlebowitsh makes that clear and also shows how the book fits with today s nationwide effort to revise curricula based on the Common Core Standards. The four sections of the book deal with selecting educational objectives, identifying learning experiences that will achieve those objectives, organizing instructional plans, and evaluating the effectiveness of the resulting curriculum. Tyler emphasizes the fact that curriculum planning is a continuous cyclical process, involving constant replanning, redevelopment, and reappraisal.
