The Curriculum Development Template is designed to make your curriculum development journey collaborative, iterative, and fun by allowing faculty and industry stakeholders to share their ideas and provide feedback throughout this process: Define, visualize, and map.
Define Start your journey by defining your program Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) and stating university Common Learning Outcomes (CLOs), which scaffolds course sequencing.
Visualize Then, work to create a visual representation of your four-year curriculum, including electives and concentration/specialization areas, so your team can see how your curriculum builds by semester and year.
Map Finally, spell out assessment criteria (i.e.,success measures) for each of your SLOs. Then, map all program courses too each SLO to see where an outcome is introduced and reinforced throughout your curriculum — providing the checks and balances needed to be confident that your curriculum aligns with your program and school’s mission, vision, and strategy.
