Field Practices for Curriculum Design

At the end of season 2, Jackie and Sarah look back at their practice of encountering curriculum everywhere: through wandering, slowing down, and following their observations and inquiries to consider what kind of knowledge might be important here. A key takeaway from this episode —and the season as a whole—is to encourage listeners to keep their own field journal to inspire regular observing, feeling, and attending to the social, spatial, and sensory knowledge that we are always carrying with us.
