ABSTRACT

Designing curricula is an iterative process. We will present a model for this process, recognizing that, in reality, curriculum developers often enter the process at any of the stages. Most models of curriculum development include planning, implementing, and evaluating. However, these are usually presented as three stages. In reality, the process is complex, iterative, and dynamic, and cycles through its various components. We will focus on planning in this chapter, exploring implementing further in Chapter 6 and evaluating in Chapter 7.
