curriculum planning
Structuring educational content
Curriculum planning is the process of designing educational content, determining what students should learn and how instruction will be organized.
It encompasses selecting subjects, sequencing topics, setting learning objectives, and choosing materials and assessments.
Teachers engage in curriculum planning at the course level; administrators and policymakers do so at institutional or national scales: The committee spent months on curriculum planning for the new science program.
