The SAGE Handbook of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment is an indispensable reference source for all researchers in education whose work focuses on the three message systems of schooling, namely curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. It is encyclopedic and intelligent in its coverage of theory and research in curriculum studies. Indeed, the Handbook contributes in no small way to the welcomed renaissance in this field of educational research. 

Bob Lingard
Professorial Research Fellow in the School of Education, University of Queensland

Only a work of this size and scope could begin to do justice to the central importance for education of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and their deep interrelationships in diverse sociocultural contexts.  This SAGE Handbook manages to be comprehensive without glossing over the contested nature of the issues. It will be a seminal resource for years to come.
