Summary: The Unwritten Curriculum is an examination of how typical occurrences in the school environment, including interactions with teachers, principals, and other students, make lasting impressions - both positive and negative - on the minds and hearts of young learners. In some situations, the unwritten curriculum can actually have as much or more of an impact than the planned curriculum. As a basis for their research, Arthur and Phyllis Blumberg interviewed dozens of adults from college age to over 70. The stories of these former students, told in their own words, relate personal experiences from school days - sometimes comical, sometimes tragic memories that provide rare insight for educators. Readers, whether seasoned administrators or students of the education field, will find themselves reliving their own memories of school days as they share these timeless accounts.
