description This article discusses heightened curriculum consciousness in a time of crisis due to Covid-19. A teacher, a principal, and a university professor in the United States offer intertwined perspectives on sharpened understandings that call for transforming our daily practice of education and everyday curriculum. The article includes four interrelated threads that underlie everyday curriculum but take on fresh meanings and urgent callings in a time of crisis: life and death, interdependence and collaboration, inequality and equity, and community beyond separation. Throughout discussions, storytelling and examples of how teachers and school leaders have responded to the difficult situation are also provided. Covid-19 is taken as a wake-up call to deepened understandings, heightened awareness, and relational interventions, so that the landscape of curriculum can be reimagined and recreated.
