Treating curriculum reform as a design problem is a basic proposition of Designs for Science Literacy. Designs deals with the critical issues involved in assembling sound instructional materials into a coherent K-12 whole. Rather than providing step-by-step instructions for creating an actual curriculum, Designs guides readers in applying general design principles to specific aspects of the curriculum. By offering a variety of options for restructuring time, instructional strategies, and content, Designs shows how to approach the curriculum design challenge in different ways to create very different curricula that serve a common set of learning goals.
