to 1301: Negotiating Curriculum
Hearing a variety of voices and perspectives is definitely
one valuable element of our Negotiating Curriculum class that the
authors of the first three articles in the Hidden Curriculum Packet
would find valuable. Page 33 of the first article states that in the
hidden curriculum G____ learned that a classroom is not a nurturing
environment, when in reality , if there is a place to learn and more
important, learn about acceptance of other individuals, what better
place that in the safety of a classroom community. Hearing a variety
of voices on topics raised by the professor shows the welcoming and
acceptance of other voices. This does not mean we all agree on
everything or that there aren’t any logical boundaries set. Rather it
shows, as the authors say, “what better place than the classroom to
learn about the acceptance of other individuals”. Society unkindly
demonstrates our disassociation from each other in most social
context. Formalism is treated with high regard in most social context.
The classroom should be different. Students should feel comfortable
enough to share their unique perspectives on issues raised. Much
great ideas are lost during instructional periods because of a
negative classroom ethos of unacceptance of certain voices.
Considering the ideas both from the Hidden Curriculum Packet
and the Seminal Studies 3 booklet, the authors may make some
suggestions regarding read aloud activities. Marie M. Clay's article
on Introducing a new storybook to Young Readers is very enlightening
provides insight to every educator that has ever done a read aloud.
Since read aloud is used as a pedagogical strategy, I think rich
introductions to new stories will give way to richer discussions
following the stories. Giving good introductions will provide an
awaken interest and scaffolding for more abstract thinking throughout
the text.
