Abstract:
Curriculum change is difficult for faculty, particularly those who have invested 10 or 20 years of contribution and revision in the present curriculum. However, an increasing number of fundamental curriculum reviews are being undertaken, in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere. There is an increasing sense of urgency and a recognition that a redesign is necessary, however difficult the process. This article is prepared as a means of identifying some of the major curriculum redesign projects with which the author is familiar and an invitation to others to add to the process. (The NACTA Journal is an excellent publication in which to record curriculum development projects.) NACTA is well positioned to provide a forum, through its annual conferences and its journal, for an exchange of ideas and experiences.
