This episode features our returning guest, curriculum scholar Dr. William Schubert, Emeritus Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition to his teaching responsibilities at UIC, Dr. Schubert has served as Chair of the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, Director of Graduate Studies, Coordinator of the Ph.D. Program in Curriculum Studies, and Coordinator of the M.Ed. in Educational Studies. His extensive body of scholarship is housed in the Special Collections Department of the Zach S. Henderson Library at Georgia Southern University.  

Among Dr. Schubert’s honors is his designation in 2005 as a University Scholar at UIC. In 2004, he received The Lifetime Achievement Award in Curriculum Studies from the American Educational Research Association, in 2007, he received The Mary Anne Raywid Award for Distinguished Scholarship to the Field of Education, and 2023 the Society of Professors of Education established the William H. Schubert Award for Curricular Speculation in his honor. 

During this conversation, we explore the ideas that Dr. Schubert has laid out in his 2023 monograph, Curriculum Matters: What Teachers Should Know and Do (#35 of the Education Practice Series published by the International Academy of Education.)
