Welcome to Curriculum Unpacked

What we teach our children shapes the kind of world we live in tomorrow.

Curriculum Unpacked is a newsletter and podcast for parents, educators, and curious citizens who want to understand the science of what’s being taught in schools, and why it matters. I break down the big ideas behind curriculums, cognitive science, education policy, and civic learning in plain language, without the spin.

Whether you're navigating school choices, wondering about what's missing from your child’s lessons, or simply trying to stay informed in a fast-moving education landscape, this publication is for you.

What you'll get as a subscriber:

  • No social media noise, just meaningful content, directly to your inbox

  • Clear, thoughtful explanations of what schools are teaching and why

  • Reflections on curriculum, culture, and civic life

  • Interviews and stories from teachers, parents, and education thinkers

This is a space for slow media, honest questions, and informed conversation. You won’t find outrage here, just a commitment to understanding what we pass on to the next generation.

Thanks for being here. Let’s unpack it.
