    Curriculum design is an aspect of the education profession which focuses on

    developing curricula for students. Some

    education professionals specialize in

    curriculum design and may spend all of

    their time working on curricula rather

    than teaching in the classroom. While in

    other cases working teachers develop

    their own curricular. Curriculum design

    is also practiced by parents who

    homeschool their children, sometimes with

    the guidance of an experienced education

    professional who can provide advice and

    suggestions and Sometimes with the

    assistance of experienced home schoolers.

    In many nations specific benchmark

    standards are set for education to

    ensure the children across the nation

    achieve a similar level of education. for

    example the government may dictate when

    children should start to learn

    multiplication and division set

    standards for reading ability and so

    forth. One aspect of curriculum design

    involves reviewing these standards and

    determining how they can be met or


    exceeded . Another aspect involved is

    thinking about the students themselves

    and what type of curriculum would be

    most appropriate. Students come from a

    wide variety of cultural and class

    backgrounds and curriculum design should

    not be a one size fits all approach.

    Methods which work in a school located

    in an upper-class district may not be

    appropriate for a school in an area with

    many immigrants who do not speak the

    primary language of instruction, for

    example and methods used with students

    who are language learners would not work

    for children with intellectual

    disabilities. A skilled curriculum

    designer needs to think about the needs

    of the student population he or she is

    serving. Curriculum design may also

    include a consideration of LIMITATIONS, a

    home schooling parent for example might

    be able to make time to take a student

    on a trip to London to see historical

    items in museums to learn in context.

    While an entire classroom in Bangkok


    could not reasonably replicate this

    experience. LIMITATIONS can include

    issues like funding access to textbooks, moral norms in the region where

    the students are being taught and

    limitations set by the school district,

    for example someone who works on

    curriculum designed for sexual education

    programs may be designing curricula for

    school districts in which certain

    subjects cannot be discussed requiring

    an adjustment to the curriculum.

    Flexibility is another important aspect

    of curriculum design many classroom

    teachers are working with students of

    different levels of ability and they

    need to be able to adjust the curriculum

    to keep all of the students engaged and

    learning. It may also be necessary to

    change the pace of a curriculum to deal

    with problems as they arise for example

    a class might have more trouble grasping

    a concept t than was expected and the

    teacher needs to be able to spend more

    time on it, rather than racing on to the

    next subject and leaving students


    confused.
