Typically, school curriculum has been viewed through the lens of
preparation for the workplace or higher education, both worthy
objectives. However, this is not the only lens, and perhaps not
even the most powerful one to use, if the goal is to optimize the
educational system. Curriculum on the Edge of Survival, 2nd
Edition, attempts to define basic aspects of the curriculum when
viewed through the larger lens of a school as the principal
instrument through which we maintain an effective democracy. In
that case, the purpose of education is to prepare our students to
take their rightful place as active members of a democracy. This
purpose is larger than workplace or college readiness, and in fact
subsumes them. The second edition of Curriculum on the Edge of
Survival posits four major starting points for education under the
purpose of preparing students for functional membership in a
democracy: kindness, thinking, problem solving, and communications.
These four foundational elements should be taught in every class,
at every level, every day. They form the backbone of a great
educational system.
