As the curriculum is an established outline of what students will undertake in learning, I believe that its implementation in schools is important in achieving successful student learning. I see the curriculum being a collaborative and cooperative learning space, as teachers have to come together to understand it, share ideas and thoroughly plan how to best implement it in their classrooms.
The good thing about working corroboratively is that it allows for teachers to see the ideas that others have had that they may have overlooked. For example, this week a group of my peers and I were working on an assignment together and we had to plan a unit of work. Upon thinking of a topic ‘similarities and differences’ we each thought different things. I thought it could be about learning about different cultures, races and ethnicities, another person thought it meant the change between states such as solids, liquids and gases, whereas someone understood it to mean the opposites and synonyms. I think collaborative thinking enables teachers to a wider view of thinking which is an advantage any teacher should have.
