Recommendations:
We have 3 recommendations for those implementing Schwabs model in their schools
curriculum design or revision efforts.
First, we recommending using Schwab’s 4 CommonPlaces
as a transformational learning tool
For example, you could use
reflective, probing questions to challenge your school's current curriculum.
Second, we recommend Employing Schwab’s model as a lens for curricular revision
All 4 of Schwab’s commonplaces are vital to curriculum design or revision.
However, keep in mind that the likelihood of perfectly balancing all four is unlikely.
Third, we recommend Supplementing Schwab’s 4 Commonplaces with equitable practices
Schwab's Model can fail to address existing barriers to learning.
School leadership should consider their mission and vision,
and look beyond the 4 Commonplaces for other
relevant elements to effectively serve their community.
