Consistently solicit students'input on the curriculum (e.g., interests, people, or concepts).
Education does not just work in a teacher to student direction, there has to be some sort of feedback to help form curriculum decision making. Educators have to be willing to listen to students about what they want to learn and how they will learn it. Not to say that the educator must bend to the will of the student, it's that they have to be at least willing to listen and be considerate about what they learn from their pupils.
