The Holiday-Centered Curriculum.

Sapon-Shevin, Mara; And Others

Education and Society, v1 n3 p26-31 Fall 1988

The informal curriculum centering on holidays in elementary education often ignores cultural and individual differences among students. School holiday celebrations may have serious consequences for the following dimensions of schooling: (1) aesthetic; (2) curricular; and (3) socio-emotional. Teachers can provide options for all students by making diversity a central theme and concern. (AF)
