The Hidden Curriculum - Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations

Brenda Smith Myles, Melissa L. Trautman, Ronda L. Schelvan

Summary

Shred through Social Confusion!

The world around us is a complicated place filled with expectations, rules, assumptions, guidelines, regulations, and policies. This “hidden curriculum” exists across environments, places, people, and cultures. Although rules and mandates can be complex, most of us take comfort in them—often unconsciously—because they help us to know what to do in everyday situations. We like rules if they are consistent. It is when they are unclear, or are unstated that we can become upset, indignant, or confused. Some people learn the hidden curriculum and its impact automatically. Others learn the hidden curriculum only by direct instruction. That is the purpose of this book.

In this third edition, the essential features of the original book have been maintained and information on evidence-based practices has been added. In addition, it provides a series of instructional strategies that can be used to teach the hidden curriculum. Instructional aids include charts, forms, and templates designed to make the job of teaching and learning the hidden curriculum more effective.

Finally, The Hidden Curriculum offers extensive lists of hidden curriculum items or unstated guidelines. Due to the elusive nature of the hidden curriculum, the lists—while broad—offer examples rather than a definite set of lessons to be learned. Parents, educators, support persons, and others are encouraged to consider the lists as springboards to make their own lists geared specifically toward the unique needs of the individuals with whom they work or live.

Dyslexia - Overcoming Learning...

Coral Nunez

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects millions of people worldwide, yet it is often misunderstood. While many believe it simply means difficulty reading or spelling, dyslexia encompasses a range of challenges that impact how individuals process written and spoken language. This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding dyslexia and, more importantly, to offer practical techniques that can help overcome its challenges.
For those who struggle with dyslexia, the journey can be frustrating. Reading, writing, and even understanding spoken language can feel like insurmountable obstacles. However, dyslexia also comes with unique strengths, including creativity, problem-solving skills, and out-of-the-box thinking. These abilities can be leveraged to overcome challenges and achieve success, both in school and beyond. By recognizing these strengths and developing strategies to cope with the areas of difficulty, individuals with dyslexia can lead fulfilling and accomplished lives.
In this book, we will explore not only the science behind dyslexia but also provide actionable techniques and methods that can be used by individuals, parents, teachers, and therapists to manage and overcome the obstacles that dyslexia presents. Each chapter is designed to empower readers with knowledge and tools to make a tangible difference in their learning experiences. Whether you are a parent seeking ways to support your child, an educator striving to create a more inclusive classroom, or an adult with dyslexia looking for strategies to succeed, this book is for you.
