The Hidden Curriculum, 25th Anniversary Edition: Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations
Author: Brenda Smith Myles, Melissa Trautman, and Ronda SchelvanPublishing Info: Paperback 168 pages / March 2024Tags: hidden curriculum, social lessons, Social Skills.The world around us is a complicated place filled with expectations, rules, assumptions, guidelines, regulations, and policies. This “hidden curriculum” exists across environments, places, people and cultures. Although rules and mandates, in themselves, can be complex, most of us take comfort in them—often unconsciously—because they help us to know what to do in most everyday situations. Most of us like rules if they are consistent. It is when they are unclear, or are unstated that we can become upset, indignant, or confused. Some people seem to learn the hidden curriculum and its impact almost automatically. Others learn the hidden curriculum only by direct instruction. That is the purpose of this book.
