Journal of curriculum change
 Curriculum Change as a Social Process: A Historical Perspective on the
Curriculum Ideas of Alice Miel
 Elizabeth Anne Yeager
 Alice Miel achieved national prominence as a curriculum development
scholar-practitioner at Teachers College, Columbia University, from 1942
to 1971. Because of her emphasis on democratic leadership and decision
making among educators and on the enhancement of schools' capacity
for change and self-renewal, Miel's ideas and activities in this regard are
instructive for current educational policymakers. Most significantly, her
work contributes to a greater understanding of some of the problems
that curriculum workers face.
 This historical overview and analysis focuses on Miel's understanding of
curriculum development primarily as a democratic social process. The
study specifically examines Miel's contributions to the practice and theory
of democratic, participatory curriculum development in schools. Tanner
described Miel's major book, Changing the Curriculum: A Social Process
(1946), and her work in this area as helping to formulate “the ideas that
are foundational for collaborative decision making in schools and school
systems [band that help to] constitute the legacy from which
contemporary workers draw.”1
