What is the "curriculum" Roosevelt is calling for in "…

- - - - Nate M. - Clay, I think it is very important to know your students and what they are capable of doing. Tying their interests into anything they are learning is only going to foster more engagement and curiosity. The hardest thing to overcome is if students come to you with poor habits and attitudes and do not look at the opportunity to be a part of a community.
    - - This quote should be on a sticky note at every teacher's desk. It is so easy to use our instructional time on things that aren't good for learning and kids. Curiosity, imagination, adventure need to be remembered as important and necessary. Charla B.
        
        I completely agree! I think we often get lost in the little details of our lessons at times that we forget the big picture. - A. I.
        
        Brittany - I also agree! I feel like sometimes as teachers we get so wrapped up in the content rather than teaching students how to understand and question what they are learning. In math, many students do not understand why they must learn certain concepts. It is not the concept that is important, but rather learning how to learn and make sense of ideas in any area.
        
        Bo---I totally agree! Sometimes, as teachers, after we get used to what we teach, we do not think of changes. I think I need more imagination in my teaching.
- - - - Kate M. - I believe this comment pairs well with what Roosevelt was trying to say because she too talked about the need to have some background knowledge before you can move forward. The background knowledge is necessary but not where we should live when thinking about our learning development.
- - - - Tyler S.--This goes along with this quote from Roosevelt: "By learning, of course, I mean a great deal more than so-called formal education. Nobody can learn all he needs to know. Education provides the necessary tools, equipment by which we learn how to learn. The object of all our education and all the development which is a part of education is to give every one of us an instrument which we can use to acquire information at any time we need it."
        
        The tools-that is the important part. Charla
- - - - Brittany - I also think experiences in like help to educate. I think about traveling and all the things that I have learned from interacting with people from another country or visiting memorials. These experience made it memorable, but also intrigued me to learn more. I think it is our job as educators to create "mini" experiences in the classroom that help our students create meaning and actually learn about a topic!
