Blog post: Commonsense

Kumashiro describes commonsense as it does not tell us what we could be doing, but it tells us what we should be doing. It is important to pay attention to the commonsense because most of the time we let ourselves get wrapped up in commonsense that we limit ourselves in succeeding. What was mentioned in the reading where he was trying to bring in his commonsense knowledge of American schooling to the school across seas, where these students have never heard of those ways before interested me. He began to notice that and started to expand his ways of teaching and relate more to the students’ way of learning. Adventuring out of your commonsense and ways of life can help you succeed in life and let you expand your knowledge, as well as your commonsense. Some commonsense understandings of curriculum that I know of is that it is what is needed to learned at each grade level in order for the students to receive the knowledge they need for future years.
