The annual SOE Virginia Hansen Speaker Series and the Hansen Curriculum Room located on the 5th floor of the Kellogg Library (KEL 5106), is made possible by Virginia Hansen who dedicated her life to being the best teacher possible for the children in her care. The Virginia Hansen Endowment fund was established in the School of Education through the generosity of Mr. Victor Hansen. It is intended to honor the work and memory of Mrs. Virginia Hansen.

Hansen Curriculum Room

Upon entering the Hansen Curriculum Room you will notice that the materials in that room are arranged differently than in the rest of the library. 

Curriculum can be referred to as “what” is taught, while instruction is “how” it is taught. Together they assist the process of learning and help to achieve the learning goals. Curriculum is the totality of teaching and learning resources and the organization/arrangement of resources and human capacities that shape students’ educational experience. Curriculum is not just a collection of materials or a course of study. Curriculum can include core principles, values, programs, events, clubs, technology infrastructure, and even how time and space are utilized.
