Hello again!
I have to admit, I enjoyed the Shiro reading more this week than probably any other week. The "plays" and tables did a great job pulling everything together in my opinion!
I think the most reasonable place to start is with the Curriculum Life History (starting on page 244 of Shiro). I'm curious, first and foremost, what yours looks like but also if you have changed your views, why? This idea of changing ideologies over time is fascinating to me.
Associated with the above question is your positionality toward the relationship among the ideologies. What is it? Does it change like ideological beliefs (if so why)?
Lastly (for now maybe), Noddings starts her final chapter with a discussion of Common Core. Understanding that this question is intimately tied to ideological beliefs, is there a need for/room for/utility in a national curriculum? Either way, with respect to the issues that we've discussed in this class, why?
Thoughts friends?
