A curriculum design process is a method by which teachers and other instructional authorities consider the goals, needs, and materials for their student group for a particular class or course. During this process, they may also consider which content to teach throughout the course. The curriculum design process will vary for each course of study: the goals and objectives of every class are different. This process is an effective way to go about lesson planning in an intentional and purposeful way. It ensures all goals will be addressed, and also reduces the likelihood that students and instructors will fall short of objectives at the end of the course.
The goals of a curriculum design process are not limited to student goals. A good curriculum design process will also include goals for the institution, faculty, and staff. A note about the word "process"—the curriculum design process is not linear: curriculum planners do not go straight from goals to action. The fact that it is a process allows educational professionals to set a goal and continually assess whether it fits in as a part of the larger curriculum design.
