Critical Curriculum Theory

data + theory + structure
= information
information + praxis
= knowledge
knowledge + experience
= wisdom
wisdom + discourse
= truth

The development of curriculum demands that we refine, redress, and redefine ourselves as facilitators in the process of seeking truth. It is with experience that we increase our work in this world. Incorporating new data into practices requires filtering, development, adoption and the goodwill of all stakeholders in education. Above all, we must work together. Teaching is an isolated job unless we cooperate, collaborate and improve our praxis.

Incorporating new data into practice requires filtering, development, adoption and the goodwill of all stakeholders. To simply accept data as knowledge is wrong. We must critically reflect on this information, and, with experience, wisdom, discourse, we can move closer to truth and enlightenment.

We must explore truth as we understand it, to come to a better understanding of ourselves and our world. We must question what we perceive as truth, take it out and hold it up to the light in the presence of others to approach enlightenment.

There are many stakeholders in the world. Incorporating new data into practices requires filtering, development, adoption and the goodwill of all stakeholders in education,stakeholders in Long-Term Care, or any other of the helping professions.
