Do you need to develop a module (online or not), series of classes, course, instructional unit, or program? Have you been developing curricula for many years? Learn to do it the right way. This workshop introduces faculty of all levels to a practical, theoretically sound approach to developing curriculum. During the workshop, participants will work through a six-step process, taking time in small groups to practice the skills learned with expert guidance nearby:

Identify a problem or need to be solved
Examine the particular needs of your learners
Develop goals and measurable learning objectives
Choose educational strategies that best fit your material
Devise steps for implementation
Consider evaluation and feedback

At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

Describe Kern'€™s 6-step process for curriculum development
Discuss the importance of conducting a needs assessment in curriculum development
Write SMART-er learning objectives
Discuss the importance of matching objectives to learning strategies
Set personal goals for applying the skills learned in this workshop to one's own practice setting, and review a tool designed to assess performance of new teaching skills.
