Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
This course examines the classroom as a space for teaching and learning from a curricular perspective. Here, “curriculum” is not understood through the conventional framework of goals, content, and assessment. Instead, the course approaches curriculum through ecological, relational, and critical perspectives, cultivating ways of analyzing and creatively reimagining the teaching–learning practices that unfold within classrooms. |
