Book excerpt: "Thus, the community-referenced curriculum development program described in this text is designed to teach the knowledge, skills and attitudes students require to perform effectively in the communities in which they live now and are likely to live in future. These curricula are based on an analysis of the social, cultural, physical, economic, environment and political conditions of these communities. In addition, the curricula incorporate an educationally cost-effective blending of academic and functional skill teaching while promoting effective methods of instructional delivery. This book describes the empirical rational and the step-by-step procedures for developing community-referenced curricula for marginalized communities. The curricula are designed for communities of people living in refugee camps, in reserves of indigenous people, in peri-urban slums, in rural areas of developing countries and for people marginalized by disabilities, wherever they live."--
