Making a Curriculum Creative

Curriculum is the knowledge, skill, and concepts that children learn, implicitly as well as explicitly, as a result of direct instruction. Creativity is the use of innovation, enthusiasm, and individuality. So what do creativity and curriculum have to do with one another? Simply put, a creative curriculum is one in which students learn through creative and active teaching strategies. Creative curriculum gets beyond rote learning and focuses on big ideas, interesting projects, and individual students' passions and needs. Often when we think of creativity, we think about tangible art, such as literature and music. These things can be an important part of a creative curriculum, but just about every element of a curriculum can be approached creatively, from science to math to history.

A creative curriculum is all about focusing on big concepts or ideas. For example, let's say you're working on a science curriculum about plants and how they grow. It's important for students to learn the stages of photosynthesis. Depending on their age range, you may want students to memorize things such as what a plant needs to survive, or even different types of plants, or plant reproduction. But a creative curriculum isn't really about memorizing facts. Instead, a creative curriculum is one that is oriented toward what is conceptually important. Take a few minutes to jot down what concepts about plants you think might be important to the age group you work with. Some examples of big ideas might be things like:

Plants have things they need in order to survive.

Different plants grow in different places, and this happens for a reason.

There are different categories of plants.

Once you have pinpointed three to five big, abstract ideas that outline your curriculum, you will be better prepared to get creative with specific activities.

Engaging Activities

A creative curriculum should include engaging activities that captivate students' attention and work to formulate an understanding of the big ideas. Of course, you could stand up in front of your students and lecture them about the attributes of plants. Or, you could get creative. Take them on a neighborhood walk and ask them to sketch and observe the plants they see. Borrow botanical guides from your school and local library. Build time into your lessons to go online and do virtual learning modules pertaining to plants. In general, the more varied activities you can incorporate into a unit of study, the more creative your curriculum will be. Varied activities will also appeal to and engage different types of learners.

If you have trouble coming up with ideas for activities, here are some starting points:

Get outside of your classroom or school building.

Incorporate art, music, and/or movement.

Incorporate dramatic role plays and other performances.

Invite guest experts, family members, or other outside speakers.

Incorporate technology in appropriate doses.

These guidelines can be great starting points for developing activities, whatever the topic you're exploring might be.

What is Curriculum?

Young children can seem like sponges sometimes. They learn quickly and are often filled with curiosity about the world around them. Schools and daycare centers that work with the youngest of children have such a unique opportunity to guide students and families toward a lifetime filled with a love for learning. Curriculum is an important part of this process. Curriculum is everything that students learn. It can be implicit or explicit, planned for or spontaneous. This lesson will describe the dimensions curriculum can take on in the context of early childhood education.

Curriculum is Play

April is a teacher of four-year-olds in a pre-K program that is part of a large elementary school. At staff meetings, her colleagues often want to know why it seems like her students are always playing rather than learning. April explains that in early childhood, play is truly the most important part of a curriculum.

Children learn so many things through play. When two four-year-olds work together to set up a dollhouse, they are learning language about family, relationships, and furniture. They are learning different perspectives about how to organize things, planting the seeds for critical thinking, or knowing how to think from multiple perspectives. When a four-year-old spends seemingly endless stretches of time fitting a golf ball through a hole and watching it drop, she is learning about gravity, geometry and even probability. The learning that happens through play cannot be replaced by any other learning, as it is self-directed, creative, and authentic.

A teacher's role during children's play is to watch and provide language to help children describe what they are experiencing. Teachers also provide rich settings with ample opportunities for different kinds of play. They observe and notice what kinds of play their students gravitate towards, and they work on ways to enrich and diversify these inclinations.

Curriculum is Relationships

Ann teaches two-year-olds in a large daycare center. Many of her students have never been away from home for a full day before, and even those who have sometimes struggle with separation and drop-off. Ann considers that the most important thing she can teach her students is that she loves them, and they can learn to love her in return. She understands that at this age learning to self-soothe, to be soothed by a safe and caring adult, and to begin enjoying the company of peers is the most important theme underlying the curriculum. Therefore, Ann makes certain to build into the curriculum plenty of time each morning to make sure each of her students is comfortable. While they do simple art projects and free play, she talks with each of them, offering language to describe their feelings and showing that she is glad they are here.

As the year goes on, Ann puts more energy and time into helping her students form friendships with one another. She helps them learn how to play together and enjoy each other's company. They sing songs together, go on walks in partnerships, and play in small groups. Learning how to develop relationships is an aspect of the early childhood curriculum that Ann knows will serve her students well throughout their school careers and their lives.

Here's a movie I made for our technology class. This was a fun project.

Með dulinni námskrá er átt við ýmsa þætti í námsumhverfinu sem ekki koma fram í formlegri skrifaðri námskrá.  Þar getur til dæmis verið um að ræða ýmis viðhorf, viðteknar venjur, siði, sjónarmið, hegðunarreglur og samskiptamynstur sem móta menningu og brag hvers skóla. Nemendur mótast af þessum þáttum ekki síður en formlegri kennslu í hefðbundnum námsgreinum. Dulda námskráin getur verið bæði jákvæð og neikvæð og byggir á venjum og viðhorfum innan skóla en ekki síður áherslum, venjum og viðhorfum hvers kennara fyrir sig og þannig áhrifum viðkomandi á nemendur.
Hér í þessu verkefni læra nemendur um samskipti og siðvenjur, samvinnu milli árganga/skólastiga, virðingu fyrir öldruðum, að kunna að meta umhverfi sitt, að hafa gaman af söng og dansi og margt annað sem ekki er beinlínis niðurskráð og mælanlegt.
