Community-Engaged Curriculum Development: Working with Middle School Students, Teachers, Principals, and Stakeholders for Healthier Schools
Ingman, Benjamin C.; Lohmiller, Katie; Cutforth, Nick; Borley, Laura; Belansky, Elaine S.
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v19 n1-2 p9-34 2017
This work chronicles strategies used to engage a low-income rural community in the development of a middle school service-learning curriculum. Through interviews, focus groups, meetings, and retreats, we engaged in a cycle of implementing the curriculum, soliciting feedback, and revising materials. The community's feedback led us to simplify the curriculum, make lessons user-friendly for teachers, and incorporate more engaging activities for students. The significance and implications of this approach are discussed.
