About the Course

Master core writing practices for clarity and precision: Curriculum developers need to ensure that their writing is not only clear but also easily understood by both students and teachers. One of the key challenges in curriculum development is tailoring material to different developmental stages. Whether you're writing for early education or advanced learners, age-appropriate content is essential for engagement and comprehension. Build a strong foundation for continuous 0mprovement: Writing is a skill that can always be improved, and Essentials of Curriculum Writing teaches how to evaluate your own writing as well as use peer review protocols to go from "good" to "great". When working on curriculum projects, it is important to meet internal standards for quality to ensure on-time delivery of curriculum.
