This dimension describes how instructors design, revise, and keep courses up to date given the larger frames of program curriculum and the diverse needs of learners.
This dimension describes how instructors design, revise, and keep courses up to date given the larger frames of program curriculum and the diverse needs of learners.
Sample indicators are organized into three levels: Involved, Engaged, and Leading. Levels are not dependent on the length of time instructors have been teaching; Lethbridge College instructors begin their teaching careers with varied professional and academic backgrounds. Instead, as instructors move from Involved to Engaged to Leading levels, the complexity of demonstrated skills and tasks increases.
Instructors at the Involved level keep courses current; ensure materials, resources, assessments, and outcomes are aligned; and identify areas of course design that do not meet the diverse needs of learners.
Instructors at the Engaged level revise course materials, resources, assessments, and outcomes to increase alignment to program and industry needs and to reflect the diverse needs of learners. Instructors begin to contribute to curriculum development, review, and/or quality assurance processes.
Instructors at the Leading level mentor colleagues in designing and/or revising course(s) to ensure alignment and consideration of diverse learner needs and potential barriers to learning. Instructors lead curriculum development, review, and quality assurance processes at the program, centre, or college levels.
