Ailwood (2004) describes Curriculum as everything, both planned and unplanned, that happens in the classroom. The Government and school systems require teachers to follow a set plan or curriculum when teaching in the classroom. This is referred to as planned curriculum. Hidden curriculum refers to the unplanned events that often happen in classrooms usually without meaning to, things like allowing bullying to occur in your classroom. The curriculum I will be dealing with when I complete my degree will be Personal Development, Health and Physical Education or PDHPE. Evidence 1. The child protection workshop I attended helped me to understand that hidden curriculum should be looked at very carefully and that it is imperative that no-one ignores problems that present themselves in the classroom.
