About The Book

Robin Barrow’s Giving Teaching Back to Teachers: A Critical Introduction to Curriculum Theory is a thought-provoking examination of the current educational landscape and a compelling call to restore professional autonomy to educators. This first edition challenges prevailing curriculum models and questions the dominance of outcome-based education, urging a return to principled, teacher-driven instruction.

Barrow presents a clear, concise critique of standardized educational reforms while advocating for a model of teaching rooted in intellectual freedom, moral purpose, and academic integrity. With a balance of theory and practical insight, the book encourages educators to reclaim their role as knowledgeable, reflective practitioners rather than implementers of prescriptive curricula.

Perfect for teachers, curriculum designers, and education students, this Routledge publication empowers readers to rethink educational aims and strategies in a way that places trust back in the hands of teachers. It’s an essential resource for anyone committed to meaningful and authentic teaching in a modern educational context.
