The Australian Language Levels (ALL) Project offers a coherent model for elementary and secondary language curriculum design. Book 4 of the four-volume series discusses aspects of curriculum change and inservice teacher education, emphasizing the fact that curriculum and staff development are ongoing processes. A section on implementing curriculum change looks at trends and directions in curriculum development, the concept of curriculum renewal, and the teacher's role in that process. A discussion of evaluation as it relates to curriculum renewal focuses on the purposes and processes of curriculum evaluation and the use of the ALL guidelines to that end. Principles guiding and conditions promoting teacher education are examined, and general and specific issues in the planning of inservice teacher education programs are outlined. Coordination of inservice activities is also addressed. Appended materials include forms for syllabus and program evaluation, evaluation of the teaching/learning approach according to the eight principles of language learning outlined in Book 1, evaluation of resources, and evaluation of the student assessment process and method.

Can we have more teacher/intellectuals in our classrooms? This book demonstrates that we can. But many things have to change before intellectual standards appear again in public schools. David Owen attempts to show, but not in outline form, how we can revise our schools. Can we escape the rut in which public education finds itself, dominated by the inane (tests), the stifling (reduction of school to job training), and the insane (transformation of a life-affirming odyssey of the mind to clichés, information gathering, and slogans)? We can reclaim the beauty of an education if we join David and re-vise our classrooms. Education is uncertain, risky, wonderously adventurous—yet schooling has become stale. No—tediously dreadful. There is a need to revise. Reject standardized tests! Repeal pay for performance! Eject No Child Left Behind before no child has a thoughtful mind left. It is time to revise, and David’s book explains why. Are we still interested in the mind, soul, and substance of the individual? Does it matter who we are and become, or just what we do? If these questions still matter, dwell carefully with David’s ideas and transform yourself, your students, school, community, state, nation, and world. It is time to revise them all. John A.
