Section LXIX-501 - Curriculum Development and Design

A. Job restructuring is a fact of life in today's continually changing health care industry. New health care roles demand a higher level of skill than ever before. Anticipating the increasing breadth of knowledge required by health care workers, the National Health Care Skills Standards Project developed standards that have been broadly drawn and that reflect higher-order thinking and performance skills. To train future health care workers to meet these standards, educators in all settings must rethink the ways in which they design curricula and courses.

B. Since the NHCSSP standards are neither basic skills checklists nor duty-task lists, but are instead broad statements of what students should know and be able to do to provide quality health care, they provide a template or starting point for the development and design of curriculum. Suggested steps for standards-based curriculum design are as follows:

1. establish project goals;

2. examine the standards;

3. consult with industry and labor partners;

4. investigate existing materials;

5. identify learning outcomes;

6. create course outline;

7. create individual lesson plans.
