Who is the The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) poster for?
The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) belongs to the Sociology section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning family & education can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) poster?
When a pupil learns something the timetable never lists. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education)?
Childhood as a Construct, Credentials & Screening and Cultural Reproduction sit alongside The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) in the Sociology section.

Is the The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) poster free to download and print?
Yes. The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Sociology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) poster print at?
The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Hidden Curriculum (Family & education) loses nothing.Printing guide
