Special session - developing heuristics for curriculum reform

Curriculum reform is a complex process. It is commonplace to focus on the proposed content of curricular change, and certainly effective change requires a well-conceived core. Yet the factors leading to successful curricular reform extend far beyond the content and organizational structure of the new curriculum. In this special session, we will use a case-based approach to examine threats to the success of curricular reform and to develop heuristics that increase the probability of success.
