How we teach and present information can open doors for our students but the culture and hidden curriculum we cultivate can just as easily hinder our learners as much as help if we are not careful.

Hammond goes on to mention that it is not only the educators that are at fault from negatively effecting students learning with hidden curriculum but the institution itself that can lead our learners in the wrong direction. We can give learners information that they can repeat back to them but often times a lot of the nuance is lost. It's not just the results of performance in our learners but how our students are learning and growing.

Billings and Halstead say that the hidden curriculum can have a longer lasting effect than the written curriculum so it is important that teachers and institutions have a philosophy and ideals that help to cultivate not just good test results but a true understanding and interest in the material our learners are taking in (2023).

What I specifically took away from this article was how much we can indirectly effect our students with how we teach and the environment we teach in. Even as institutions have become more learner focused, the learner is still the main target of change and teachers are the agent or facilitator of that change (Orón Semper & Blasco, 2018). Specifically it really nails home how much influence the educator has on their students in ways that they may not even realize and its honestly kind of scary to think about if you're worried about negatively impacting your learners.

Lynn Erickson and Lois A. Lanning have a book on helping educators transition their curriculum into a concept-based curriculum. However, I was not able to acquire this text for this project. This book review by Kaminisa Fannin does give a nice brief overview of the contents and exactly how an educational institution can go about transitioning from a traditional or content based curriculum into a concpet-based curriculum.

Erickson and Lanning point out the utmost importance of professional development especially in regards to a faculty that mostly learned from content based education themselves. From this we can understand that de-crowding of curriculum, concept-based learning, deep learning and open minded faculty are all intertwined and necessary ingredients to be involved in the future of learning.

It again touches upon removing the clutter from content based curriculum while focusing on the deeper learning that is achievable by switching to concept-based learning.
