Kumashiro defines common sense to be the knowledge that we have from growing up. Kumashiro explains that nobody wants to change the norms of daily life because it’s the way the world did it before. People believe that things from the past will be the right way of teaching it. Nobody wants to change their beliefs in daily life. If we change the way everyday life is, we will have new beginnings in the world.

We pay attention to common sense because it helps us understand our views on daily life. We pay attention to the ways people have taught and explained the ways of the world. We pay attention because people tend not to want to try anything new or different in the world. People do not want to try because they are familiar with the way people teach. People nowadays like to stick to their own beliefs. Without changing common sense ideas, the world continues to live as if common sense is the right thing.

I bring into the classroom my understanding of Curriculum and pedagogy. Definition of Curriculum is the way people teach in the classrooms, guidelines for the teachers, and expectations for a class. I bring the knowledge of Curriculum to be the way we teach in classrooms; teachers don’t like to change how they lead a class. My understanding of pedagogy is the learning methods of essays, assignments, homework and writing information down. My undersigning of this came from myself growing up. If we want to change common sense, it will begin to bring new information.
