What's a curriculum -- and how do you go about developing one?

Curriculum: cur·ric·u·lum
    [kuh−rik−yuh−luhm] –noun,
  plural -la  [-luh] , -lums.
1. the aggregate of courses of study given in a school, college, university, etc.: The school is adding more science courses to its curriculum.
2. the regular or a particular course of study in a school, college, etc.

Would it surprise you to learn that the USPC Standards is our curriculum? Each knowledge goal is alread laid out for you. If you've attended the session at the Annual Meeting on Flow Charts, you've got the steps toward teaching this curriculum at your fingertips -- all you really need are the lesson plans to do it and a schedule to follow.

This website has sample lesson plans -- if you create more, please share them -- and several examples of how clubs have combined lesson plans with schedules to deliver the USPC curriculum to their members.
