Art Costa, Ed.D. Five Thoughts for a More Thought-full Curriculum Curriculum, instruction, learning, and assessment are the pulse of the school. They are what drive everything else. They are the currency through which we exchange thoughts and ideas. They are the passions that bind our organization together. Educators recognize the growing need for informed, skilled, and compassionate citizens who value truth, openness, creativity, interdependence, balance, and love, as well as the search for personal and spiritual freedom in all areas of one’s life. This demands that the school’s curriculum must be open and flexible enough to accommodate these new perspectives. In this presentation, five themes will be presented as “lenses” with which to view a thought-filled curriculum. Biography:
