Curriculum Encounters

Curriculum at the Ferry Terminal


Listen Later

In this episode, Jackie and Sarah meet up at a ferry terminal, where standing on the dock prompts new perspectives. Listen in to hear the helicopters, the seagulls, and absorb the movement of commuters… Through slowing down, attending to the sensations, and sketching the scene, they talk about the potential for curriculum in overlooked details and what can be discovered by shifting our relationship to the familiar.
