How does the “core knowledge” approach differ from the standard public school curriculum?
Core Knowledge is an organization of content to be taught at each grade level. It differs from the standard core taught in most public schools in that it is specific, sequenced, specific, and shared. It also differs in philosophy. Core Knowledge is a modern example of classical education, one that values the humanities and developing the intellect over student-centered, inquiry-based, “experiential” approaches of most public schools.
