Creative Curriculum Origins
Creative curriculum rests on a firm foundation of research
and responds to new requirements for addressing academic content.
The approach from its beginning has been developed
based on the theories and research that inform decision making in the early childhood field. The works of Piaget, Maslow,
Erickson, Smilansky, Vygotsky, and Gardner are all implemented in creative curriculum. Creative Curriculum helps children
acquire social competence and the skills they need to succeed as learners.
Teachers Role in Creative Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum approach takes a look at the teacher and helps them observe children more purposefully.
Through these observations, the teacher is able to comprise a plan which can be administered to the individual or to the whole
group. The Creative Curriculum approach enables teachers to integrate content learning and bring it into everyday experiences.
The Creative Curriculum framework is composed of five components. Each of these five components is applied to 11 areas
