Reforming Our School Systems Around a Humanizing Curriculum: Schooling During and After COVID-19

ABSTRACT

Highlights • The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to create new school systems that are centered around a humanizing curriculum. • A humanizing curriculum values self, social, and cultural knowledge in addition to academic knowledge, celebrating students as whole human beings who are learning about and creating their place in society. • This curriculum is co-created and co-implemented with students and families. • Through this co-creation and co-implementation process, we shift school systems to support a humanizing curriculum.
