Beginning to look into my assignment #1 project I am thinking of heading in the way of discovering more about William Pinar and looking into his work and what he is interested in. I am liking the way he puts his perspective on things so far looking into him that I feel this may be a enjoyable topic to continue to push through. "I am interested in each of these but – as a curriculum theorist – I am less interested in how teachers teach than in what they teach, what students learn (and what they don’t), the impact of standardized assessment on teaching and learning." He looks a lot into curriculum and seems to know it inside out.
William Pinar has written multiple books that university students are studying out of on the daily to push towards pursuing their future career in teaching. Some of his books sound familiar and I am pretty certain that I may have one of his books around, so I look to go further into this by looking into his books and find where the passion he is all about for curriculum comes from through his writing. I look to further my research on him through more searching through resources online and offline through his books.

I think that choosing to study Pinar and his accomplishments will be a great adventure. I am sure that you will discover many interesting things. What do you hope to find out? Was there a particular topic that you have noticed that jumps out to you? Personally, I would be most interested in his ideas regarding standardized assessments and would love to hear what grabs your attention during your research. Good luck!

I think it's awesome that you looked into a person and their work with curriculum rather than just a topic! Have you noticed a theme in his work or is it different aspects of curriculum? Overall, I am excited to read about what you find!
