  1. Curriculum Development Placing Priority on Planning

  2. Today’s Objective • To present planning tools used for DLIELC curriculum projects • To show how increased transparency and accountability impact project completion time

  3. Today’s Agenda Timelines, Deadlines, Project Tracking • Reverse planning • The PERT Chart • Work-based Structure • The Gantt Chart

  4. Preparing quizzes An email from a project officer: “The book’s due by July 31st. We need CDT quizzes by the same date. So let's count back: week of 27-31July for curriculum staff to take the CDTs, make revisions, & hand off final to Testing; Record & proof scripts - week of 20-24 July; make revisions from Testing review - week of 13-17 July; testing review - from 29 June to 10 July (only two weeks including two days off for 4th July holiday); that leaves 4 weeks in June (1- 26) to write & compile the remaining quiz items.”

  5. Reverse Planning(Resident Quizzes - 3 Forms) • June 1 – Start quizzes (150 items required) • June 26 – Complete quiz draft and kits • June 29 – Review by LEAT (2-3 weeks) • July 10 – Receive completed LEAT review • July 13 – Enter edits • July 20 – Record audio (with Media’s help) • July 27 – CDT prep by Testing Section (LEAT); quality control • July 31 – Send out quiz release letter

  8. An important concept: Value-added Work

  9. Curriculum Flow Chart CW = course writer PO = project officer Are all the chunks of a text developed and approved by the PO? CW or PO develops materials in chunks (e.g., vocabulary, grammar, skills, quiz items). Yes No Peers proof and provide feedback. Afterwards, PO reviews first draft. CW develops next chunk. PO edits and sequences text, places graphics, obtains more feedback, makes final revisions, completes final formatting, and prints a final draft. CW makes revisions and returns to PO. Does PO approve final draft? Yes No Final Book Quizzes go to Testing. Final ST and IT go to Editorial. PO or CW makes more revisions.

  10. Value-Added Stream in Green Are all the chunks of a text developed and approved by the PO? CW or PO develops materials in chunks (e.g., vocabulary, grammar, skills, quiz items).

  15. Conclusion The ultimate goal of a project is completion. PERT charts, flow charts, Gantt charts, and truly meaningful timelines are tools that help focus on value-added work. They provide transparency, increase accountability, enhance communication, and can help get the job done right and on time.
