The discourses of curriculum have more to do historically with the administration of children than with understanding the processes of knowledge production in the sciences, literature, and history

The studies of science as a communal practice, for example, focus on the multiple layers of scientific work that involves both internal and external questioning and conflict. The social and historical moorings of knowledge are excluded from examination in pedagogical practices.

The image is of the citizen, worker, warrior, and teacher as problem-solving and flexible in responding to multiple and contingently defined contexts. The vehicles through which this image is constructed are language and community, which enable a resuscitation of the works of Dewey and Vygotsky.

The new systems of social administration in pedagogy for creating greater participation, however, also produced systems of exclusion. While learning and child development were supposed to increase individual freedom through education, the psychological notion of childhood ascribed universal characteristics by which to judge development and achievement. But the characteristics assumed to be universal were not. Instead, modern psychology was based on concepts drawn from the values of particular groups in society and applied in a way that presumed to judge all children. Baker (1998) argues, for example, that particular binaries were inscribed in the concept of childhood developed at the end of century. The binaries were: Whiteness/Blackness, male/female, and civility/savagery. The binaries were part of a scaffolding of ideas that classified and normalized the subjective dispositions of children through conceptions that privileged a particular Protestant view of individuality that was English-speaking, male, and racially charged. The effect of the scaffolding was to exclude by drawing discursive maps which designated those children who stood outside the normativity as noneducable since they existed outside of reason and salvation.

However, such measurement was considered to be beyond the capacity of kindergarten or other public school teachers. For that reason, measurement, and the formation of a curriculum based on it, now entered the domain of experimental psychologists

87 percent of those polled pointed to lack of insurance coverage as a barrier to seeking treatment, and 81 percent pointed to cost concerns

48 percent of those polled reported a visit to a mental health professional by someone in their household this year, and more than nine out of 10--91 percent--said they would likely consult or recommend a mental health professional if they or a family member were experiencing a problem.

Storyboarding is about arranging and categorizing ideas and solutions in a linear format and order. It’s best done after brainstorming to generate ideas.

This method reduces or removes the fear of criticism and frees the flow of discussion because bad ideas are easier to find – which makes idea generation easier and more fun.

Most industries have an orthodoxy – a set of deeply-held, unspoken beliefs that everyone follows when it comes to “how we do things around here.”
