Unexpected Journeys in Curriculum Leadership: Currere in Three Parts

• In Event: Charting Alternative Lived Curriculum Pathways

Abstract

Curriculum in critical pedagogy is based on the idea that there is no one methodology that can work for all populations (Degener, S, 2001). According to Kesing-Styles (2003), critical pedagogy and praxis is critical reflection and action with the goal of implementing a range of educational practices and processes in not only creating a better learning environment but a better world.
The goal of this paper is to use currere through the lens of critical pedagogy to explore the lived curriculum of three doctoral students engaged in critically interrogating their leadership impact on curricular change.
