Kumashiro defines commonsenes as knowledge as a group of people that feel comfortable to them. Commonsenese also defines the norm of daily liviving that has been done in the past. When we think about the common sense beliefs we fail to question our selfs of why we do these things. Commonsense understandings is a foundational belief that are very often not taught these days.

It is important to pay attention to “commonsenese” understandings as I believe they limit our views. We sometimes fall into doing things the way we have seen them done, instead of trying them a new. Also people tend to stick to commonsense beacuse it is familar with them.

I came into this course knowing commonsense understandings of the curriculum, but I did not  know a lot about pedagogy. My understanding with the curriculum is a  government documents full of outcomes and materials that need to be taught that whole year in whatever grade you are teaching.
