The curriculum development process can be categorized
into five basic steps: 1) needs assessment, 2) the planning
session, 3) content development, 4) pilot delivery and
revision, and 5) the completed curriculum package.
The ideal situation is to have, at a minimum, 12 - 18 months to design and develop a
curriculum. This allows time for a planning session(s), follow-up meetings and/or
mechanisms for continued work, a pilot of the original program design, revisions based
upon the pilot, and another delivery of the revised program.
As a general benchmark, it takes 6 to 25 times the length of the completed curriculum to
develop the content focus areas, including gathering data and research, holding a
planning session(s), designing instructional strategies and preparing participant
materials and visual aids.
For example, for a 36-hour training program, you should allow between 90 and 900
hours (11 to 112 eight-hour days) of development time, dependent upon the complexity
of the issue(s) to be addressed through the training program, and the expected
outcomes of the program.
The completed curriculum package should include, at a minimum:
Lesson Plans and other instructional materials in the ITIP (Instructional Theory
Into Practice) format: see OJJDP Training and TA Protocols for a sample.
Training Aids (including computer view graph presentations, overhead
transparency masters, videotapes, etc.) to complement the content and increase
transfer and retention of the learning.
