520 $aThe Unwritten Curriculum is an examination of how
typical occurrences in the school environment, including
interactions with teachers, principals, and other students,
make lasting impressions - both positive and negative - on
the minds and hearts of young learners. In some situations,
the unwritten curriculum can actually have as much or more
of an impact than the planned curriculum. As a basis for
their research, Arthur and Phyllis Blumberg interviewed
dozens of adults from college age to over 70. The stories of
these former students, told in their own words, relate
personal experiences from school days - sometimes comical,
sometimes tragic memories that provide rare insight for
educators. Readers, whether seasoned administrators or
students of the education field, will find themselves
reliving their own memories of school days as they share
these timeless accounts. The Blumbergs organize their
subjects' experiences into chapters designed to represent
the various "courses" in the unwritten curriculum. "Being
Embarrassed," "Getting Even," "Battling the System," and
"Learning About Learning" are a few of the topics examined.
The Unwritten Curriculum is an important reminder that
educators can influence the lives of their students in ways
they may not realize. "Being aware and learning to nurture,"
the authors conclude, is the key to improving the messages
conveyed by the unwritten curriculum. The Blumbergs hope
that readers will use this information to "reflect on life
in the schools, what it is, what it isn't, and what it might
be."
