Re-imaging education will be very helpful as it can open many doors that are often closed due to strained connections between us and the BC curriculum. There are often parts of the curriculum that either exclude or forget students are need that extra help to go through a school day with their peers. It can provide the extra help that most students need and give teachers a bit more leeway when including the curriculum in their lessons. The downfall to this can be some if not all topics can be very far off from the curriculum and not provide students with what they need to learn in schools. It will add too much open space for teachers that some can possibly feel stressed with this new curriculum. This can also break certain privacy or age appropriate restrictions that are there for students that aren’t ready to hear at a certain age (Whatever age it may be or if it affects the student specifically about certain topics).
When changing the way you teach can be beneficial to having a new perspective on whatever it is your teaching. Whether that might be that you are including a way of learning you never thought would be helpful, having shown diversities and their struggles, or even a new way to get the students attention. There are many things that can be very beneficial to changing the way you teach (whether you change the way you see, how they learn the topic, how you approach the topic, etc). A downfall can be learning this new way of teaching and making sure you aren’t slowly returning back to the old way of teaching. Not that it is bad, but it can be easy to return to the way you taught before rather than trying to return to try out the new way of teaching that you are trying to do. This will be harder for those that need or want to change (if that be for their students, fellow teachers, or because the curriculum has been changed) but are often leaning back to how they taught before.
