The Hidden Curriculum: What is it and how to teach it? [in person] In-Person
The "hidden curriculum" is a term used to capture the lessons that are not explicitly part of the formal curriculum of higher education, but are the unintended knowledge that is taught through the cultural and social environment in which education takes place.
This knowledge includes many of the practices, procedures, rules, relationships, norms, and structures of Higher Ed that we have either taken for granted or become accustomed to as university faculty. For international students and first-generation students especially, these practices can be both new and unknown. This unknown curriculum can become a barrier when it is not explicitly discussed and taught. In this session we will cover examples of the hidden curriculum and explore tools to help you identify your own assumptions about what students know.
