Field Practices for Curriculum Design
<p>At the end of season 2, Jackie and Sarah look back at their practice of encountering curriculum everywhere: through wandering, slowing down, and following their observations and inquiries to consider what kind of knowledge might be important here. A key takeaway from this episode —and the season as a whole—is to encourage listeners to keep their own field journal to inspire regular observing, feeling, and attending to the social, spatial, and sensory knowledge that we are always carrying with us. </p><ul><li>Image 1: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tVM2lYXG1ZRlyQiYa355a7hTmEITfqm5/view?usp=sharing">Studio Recording with Jackie Simmons and Sarah Gerth</a></li><li>Image 2: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z9UzYXk8DgWQco9sU_nebvcC4yezARhQ/view?usp=sharing">Studio Recording with Billy Collins, Jackie Simmons and Sarah Gerth</a>\</li><li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PmY1a8AY8w4mkgqCVMxdMZFMyW-V10AZ/view?usp=drive_link">Episode 5 Field Guide Worksheet</a></li></ul><p>The views expressed in this episode are solely those of the speaker to whom they are attributed.

Curriculum in the Neighborhood
<p>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. </p><ul><li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1se3iuABrtGQbFvPf9Txb1lryr8tOu24k/view?usp=sharing">Image 1</a>: View from Sarah and Jackie’s neighborhood walk</li><li><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:66_Perry_Street_Carrie_Bradshaw%27s_House_From_Sex_And_The_City_(1149739647).jpg">Image 2</a>: A classic NYC stoop</li><li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EI8AObkxAnlz5gJ0R4u4WQ2qQuBf0wXO/view?usp=drive_link">Episode 4 Field Guide Worksheet</a></li></ul><p>The views expressed in this episode are solely those of the speaker to whom they are attributed.

Curriculum at the Ferry Terminal
<p>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.</p><ul><li>Image 1: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aqFgtXTcGZA7QBNVUDDMzdZ2y4fqbcsX/view?usp=sharing">Sarah’s sketchbook drawing</a></li><li>Image 2: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tn5PzUu_yOXkmjTXZSLBTEGHFgcMVLnW/view?usp=sharing">Jackie’s sketchbook drawing</a></li><li>Image 3: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HgXcbUHyLoojLC1vILYsVL4iAKuDhuPU/view?usp=sharing">Photo of Wall Street Pier</a></li><li>Image 4: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pFf0VG3h1S7WgDNs6zzGfhnKCOZj2wDQ/view?usp=sharing">View from Wall Street Pier</a> </li><li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lV_y2PXt59l3AXSDcE8Ezk59eWV-jXnM/view?usp=drive_link">Episode 3 Field Guide Worksheet</a></li></ul><p>The views expressed in this episode are solely those of the speaker to whom they are attributed.
