In this paper we trace the experiences of a teacher, Viviane, as she learns to co-compose curriculum alongside a youth. The conceptualizations of personal practical knowledge, personal and professional knowledge landscapes, familial and school curriculum making, and stories to live by shape our narrative understanding of curriculum making as relational work attentive to the making of a life for a youth in school, and her teacher. Our paper also takes up a second phenomenon, which explores our coming to a conceptual understanding of curriculum making in practice as a narrative act for a teacher and a teacher educator.
