Curriculum Encounters

Curriculum in the Neighborhood


Listen Later

In this episode, Sarah and Jackie take a walk through Brooklyn, where they sit on the stoop of Jackie’s former building and discuss how stoops become sites of belonging, memory, and recognition that shape our sense of who we are and where we fit. Come along to consider what your “stoop” is and how questions of belonging play out in curriculum decisions in your neighborhood and classroom spaces.
