Curriculum 21: Essential Education for a Changing World (Professional Development) Review: An Inspirational and yet Practical Text - Initially, I was hesitant to purchase this text. Several reviewers called it too "idealistic", which gave me pause to consider how practical it would be in using as a guide as I begin the arduous task of composing and revising the middle school / high school English Language Arts curriculum at the rural district where I teach English to grades 7, 9, 11, and 12. After reading it on my own, however, I realized that those who called it "idealistic" did not consider the technological context in which they read it - we live in a time when everything in this text is not only possible, but a lot of it is already implemented because of the intrinsic nature of digital technologies. In addition, Hayes Jacobs gives a "growth-based" model of implementing technology, which sets up any curriculum development project in a practical direction. Anyone involved in education and anyone considering the field of education should read this text. It provides the construct in which the skills, habits, and content of schools in the 21st century need to rethink the very essence of education (in its broadest sense). With a very easy-to-follow table of contents and an eclectic arrangement of contributors, this text is certainly worth the price and time it takes to read. Review: Great Book - If you're looking for a book that makes you think this is a great one. It is a very thought provoking book on preparing students for 21 century learning. It really emphasizes a need to teach students for the future world and prepare students for jobs that may not even exist. This was used as a textbook in one of my masters courses and was one I really enjoyed reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #172,031 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Education Curriculum & Instruction #145 in Curricula (Books) #450 in Educational Certification & Development | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (265) | | Dimensions | 5.9 x 0.7 x 8.9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1416609407 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1416609407 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 254 pages | | Publication date | January 5, 2010 | | Publisher | ASCD | ## Images ![Curriculum 21: Essential Education for a Changing World (Professional Development) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61E1H0Fi3YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Inspirational and yet Practical Text *by T***E on May 25, 2012* Initially, I was hesitant to purchase this text.

It is a very thought provoking book on preparing students for 21 century learning. It really emphasizes a need to teach students for the future world and prepare students for jobs that may not even exist. This was used as a textbook in one of my masters courses and was one I really enjoyed reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful guide for educators and anyone interested in education *by J***N on July 18, 2014* In Curriculum 21 Heidi Hayes Jacobs (ed.) and ten other authors combine to provide essays on what they term an essential curriculum for a changing world. In the first four chapters Ms. Jacobs covers what is essential for the schools of the 21st century. In chapter five Stephen Wilmarth reports on five socio-technology trends that change the way school has to be taught. Vivien Stuart, in the next chapter, discusses global education. In chapter seven Tim Tyson provides an example of a school that is successfully teaching a 21st century curriculum, the Mabry Middle School in Marietta, Georgia. In the following chapter Frank Baker discusses media literacy that are needed for modern education. Digital portfolios and curriculum maps are covered in the next chapter by David Niguidula. Jamie Cloud covers the topic of educating for a sustainable future. Alan November then discusses technology. Finally, Arthur Costa and Betta Kallick summarize the whole process of rethinking the curriculum for the 21st century. This book will be particularly useful for educators, but may have value for parents and students as well, Anyone interested in how education has to change in the modern era will also benefit. I rate it at four stars instead of five because it is a compendium of assorted topics and views and thus lacks the kind of coherence a single author might have. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1200118-curriculum-21-essential-education-for-a-changing-world-professional-development](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1200118-curriculum-21-essential-education-for-a-changing-world-professional-development) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
