There is the curriculum. There is the unwritten curriculum that children hold dear. There is also the null curriculum and the hidden curriculum.
There are all sorts of curriculae.
I think that there is only the relationship between the teacher and the child. And back the other way.
And in this relationship there is also the question of power; to create and to be created.
The closeness of the child to the unwritten hope of the not yet become, that is the place of wordless magic. By this I mean the spirit of the child that seeks other, and can not find the words.
In that moment, i te wairua o te tamariki, is the moment beyond words, in which hope lives, and in which human life becomes other.
Curriculum that encourages the not yet, and the not yet become.
