The Lancaster Education Framework (please see link above) outlines how taking a programme focus to design is vitally important to ensure this conscious decision making is central to your thinking. There are also a number of statements in the Education Framework that relate to structure and how a programme needs to be put together. This resource supports you through the underpinning principles of programme focus such as Constructive Alignment, levels of learning and scaffolding.
Designing a curriculum, be this a programme, module or unit of study, can be complex. The process involves conscious decision making, along with thinking holistically and systematically to ensure your programme and its connected modules provides the best possible experience and outcomes for your students.
The Education Framework webpages outline how taking a programme focus to design is vitally important to ensure this conscious decision making is central to your thinking.
