There is a lot that goes into developing a successful MassSTEP curriculum. The idea is to seamlessly integrate and contextualize academic skills, workforce preparation activities, and workforce training into a curriculum that meets student and employer needs. Some find that easier said than done!
This two part series has been designed to provide your program with curriculum strategies and examples, as well as the opportunity to receive feedback on your MassSTEP curriculum and learning objectives. Programs in any stage of curriculum development are welcome.
- Any MassSTEP team member who plays a role in planning, developing, or improving the MassSTEP curriculum
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
An integrated curriculum is the key to ensuring that our MassSTEP program addresses and integrates the three required components of the program. Even more specifically, writing a Single Set of Learning Objectives (SSLO) is an exercise that reminds us that curriculum development is a collaborative process.
Based on requests from current MassSTEP programs, this interactive series will guide you through a process of assessing and improving your MassSTEP curriculum. We have designed this process to be responsive to your program’s needs.
