Is There a Core in This Curriculum? And Is It Really Necessary?

Stimpson, Catharine R.

Change, v20 n2 p26-31 Mar-Apr 1988

A syllabus that shows the diversity of cultures should be the "core curriculum." A linear narrative of American history, a selection of significant periods and then a discussion of what was happening simultaneously in many places, and an attempt to dramatize the future are all suggested for a core curriculum.
