The idea
In an emergent curriculum, goals emerge from students' expressed interests; the teacher relies on continuous observation and curriculum webbing to connect those interests to learning goals, with the best evidence in early childhood.
In practice
Children fascinated by a spider web lead to a unit on insects, patterns and measuring.
Where people slip
Emergent does not mean unplanned; observation and webbing are the planning.
