How Do You Write A Class Curriculum?
Whether you are teaching a one-day seminar or a 12-week certificate class, a curriculum will serve to help you organize your lessons and reach the class goals. A curriculum, handed out at the beginning of the course, gives students an idea of what is expected of them and what they can expect from you. The more thought you put into writing the curriculum, the smoother your class will run. List all the topics you want to cover in the class. Write your first list in a brainstorming style, putting down everything that you feel is important without nay thoughts of the final curriculum or how you plan to present it. Break up the list into categories and set up timelines for each category. Eliminate the least important details that won’t fit in the allotted time.

Leave room for changes as the course progresse
