Curriculum planning can be conceptualized in various ways, and curriculum planners necessarily must adopt a particular approach in order to facilitate their thinking and decision-making. However, the history of curriculum planning suggests that existing conceptualizations are sometimes confusing, imprecise, or not as helpful as they might be. There is a need for a new conceptualization that overcomes the limitations of these earlier conceptions. Through conceptual analysis and concept development, the author presents curriculum planning as a form of educational practice distinct from other practices such as teaching, administration, and policy making. Short's "grammar of curriculum practice" describes a set of key concepts and the meaningful relationships among them that define the essential elements of curriculum and of curriculum planning.

This qualitative curriculum analysis study investigates the presence of cross-curricular coherence in a secondary teacher education program in preparing teacher candidates for culturally responsive teaching (CRT). This study draws on literature from Villegas and Lucas (2002) and uses their model of culturally responsive teaching to determine where the six CRT strands are present in the curriculum of the teacher education program. This study also explores how coherence existences in the curriculum both conceptually as well as structurally. This study examines the cross-curricular coherence in the summer quarter of the Master's in Teaching (MIT) program in secondary education at the University of Washington by addressing the overlaps and gaps that currently exist. It then makes recommendations for how to ensure the curriculum is more coherent in preparing teachers to successfully carry out CRT.
