Educators, Philosophers & Curriculum
What is curriculum?
“Curriculum is that process whereby the school facilitates the integration of the students’ experiences, planned and unplanned, in school and out, into a coherent framework having personal meaning for that student.”
From a discussion with Arnie Langberg, co-founder of the Harmony Project
