Your Curriculum's Core Elements

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran

We need your help constructing an article for the July issue of Exchange magazine on the core elements of a curriculum. People have identified many elements that they see as central to what they are trying to accomplish in their centers. Some of the elements that people in the field have shared with us include...

Joy
Persistence
Curiosity
Language
Order
Friendship
Independence
Cooperation
Self Confidence
Flexibility

We invite you to help us develop this article by telling us about the core elements of your center's curriculum by going to this week's expanded Exchange Insta Poll.
