The focus of this paper is a curriculum alignment exercise undertaken by the School of Education at
the University of the South Pacific. The aim of that exercise was to enhance the curriculum by
methodically aligning the University’s graduate outcomes with the teacher education programme
outcomes, through to course learning outcomes and associated assessments. As educators, we speak
to students through the curriculum (the heart) and pedagogy (the soul) of education. If there is
misalignment, the heart and soul do not connect in the manner that they should. Through the work
on alignment and the associated process of inquiry into our teaching, we sought to engage with our
colleagues in the School and work through the issues that we experience on a daily basis. It was a
deeply reflective time and using vignettes from our experiences intertwined with documentary
analysis, we capture the process of re-engagement and the establishment of connective links. As
educators in the Pacific, we trace this journey as leaders and implementers of the curriculum and
identify the insights that we learnt along the way so that they may add to the understanding of others
who may be on a similar journey.
