Planning Curriculum Design

In order to complete your Curriculum Design, consider the guidelines in each section for gathering your data and information. Refer back to your Parts 1 and 2 Module Assignments, to ensure that your course design aligns with the need you identified in your Part 1 and curriculum components you described in Part 2. Take careful notes to reference when you prepare your Part 3: Curriculum Design Module Assignment, due in Week 8.

1: Creating End-of-Program Outcomes

Use the following points to help guide your research and thinking.

· Consider how you would describe the program you will design.

· Based on your program description, develop end-of-program outcomes. Consider the following to support this process:

· Reflect on how to align your end-of-program outcomes with the mission, vision, and philosophy (i.e., curriculum components) of your staff nursing education program.

· Reflect on the need you identified in proposing your staff nursing education program and how end-of-program outcomes help in meeting that need for the target staff nurses.

· Craft at least 3 end-of-program outcomes for your staff nursing program.

· For each end-of-program outcome, confirm the following:

· How it aligns with the mission, vision, philosophy, and overall goal of your staff nurse training/education program

· How it meets the needs of the staff nurses identified for the program

2: Designing the Program: Courses/Learning Experiences

Based on your end-of-program outcomes, you will determine individual courses/learning experiences to meet those outcomes and consider a recommended sequence of courses/learning experiences. Use the following points to help guide your research and thinking.

· Consider a plan of study that consists of 3–5 courses/learning experiences for your target staff nurses in your program.
Note: Your program might
ideally require more or fewer, but consider how you can capture the key learning in at least 3 and no more than 5 courses/learning experiences.

· Identify the courses/learning experiences that are part of your program.

· Consider the sequence in which you would present these courses/learning experiences.

· For each course/learning experience, complete the following:

· Create a title.

· Describe it using concepts and terminology that are appropriate for staff nurses in your selected medical/health center. Write 2–3 succinct sentences that clearly explain the content to be covered and the type of learning activities that will take place.

3: Illustrating Curriculum Design

Drawing on the program outcomes, courses/learning experiences, and learning outcomes you develop, choose a type of graphic that can visually depict your program of study (education plan). Consider how to show the following:

· Courses/learning experiences and sequence

· Learning outcomes for each course/learning experience

·
Learning objectives (2–3) for one course/learning experience that support achieving the course/learning experience outcomes

· How each course/learning experience scaffolds learning toward the end-of-program outcomes

· How the courses/learning experiences achieve/help to achieve your identified program outcomes for the staff nurse education you have designed
