Overview

• Why do we “manage” curriculum?• What’s your educational framework?• How can we plan to be flexible and

adaptable?

Teaching Hours By Topic/Modality

What is your educational framework?

• Courses, Sessions, Activities• Topics, Learning Modalities, Keywords• Program Objectives and Course Objectives• Competencies
