Deep Curriculum: Guiding the Inner Lives of Early Career Teachers
Valtierra, Kristina M.; Michalec, Paul
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v19 n1-2 p19-33 2017
This chapter argues for a framing of curriculum in teacher education that we call "deep curriculum," which consciously brings themes of courage, heart, passion, and the inner-life of teachers into teacher preparation and beyond. Deep curriculum is framed around contemporary issues in education including the epidemic of teacher attrition. We offer concrete examples from a qualitative study and a pilot program of "deep curriculum" conducted in a teacher education program.
