CEP Session 4: Integrated Curriculum Development - Introduction to Curriculum Development + Practical Applications
Curriculum development allows educators to take a thoughtful and methodical approach to determine what learners will be required to learn. The curriculum development process systematically organizes what we be taught, who will be taught, and how it will be taught. In this session, we will present an overview of the nuts and bolts of curriculum development, as well as a brief overview of common instructional design models. Furthermore, practical applications build on the Introduction to Curriculum Development course by walking participants through the curriculum design process from start to finish. We break down each component and explain why it matters and how each piece relates to the larger whole. Participants will leave with a curriculum design template they can use as a guide
for creating educationally sound workshops and programs on their own.
Target Audience
Educators and professionals responsible for learner development in nursing, allied clinical training, undergraduate and graduate medical education, and clinical teaching.
