Curriculum Design & Development

Good instructional design is fundamental to performance outcomes and when paired with skillful facilitation, is an exceptionally powerful tool in upgrading learning and fostering change. We leverage decades of expertise designing instructional resources to craft principle-based curricula to support your organization’s programmatic needs.

Here’s what you can expect:

Partnership from conceptualization to publication with clear agreements on deliverables as well as format of publication and handoff (e.g., offline vs online). In general, standard curricula are crafted using Google docs or graphic design platforms.

A customized, professional curriculum based in curriculum design principles (e.g., balance, rigor, coherence) essential for achieving stated goals.

Field testing of curriculum with the intended user audience for evaluation to ensure usability, reliability, and quality (where applicable).

Something Beautiful™: Self-Awareness & Self-Discovery for Teen Girls, A Curriculum

Something Beautiful™: Self-Awareness & Self-Discovery for Teen Girls, A Curriculum is meticulously crafted by the educators and coaches of Audacious Inner Works Institute as a powerful resource to execute the vision and goals of its namesake program. Something Beautiful™ is a 6-week developmental program designed for teen girls, ages 13 – 17. Both the program and curriculum are welcoming and inclusive of girls across gender spectrum.

The program’s broad vision and goals of development and empowerment have been enacted into a 6-week curriculum, which is predicated on curriculum design principles and decades of expertise in instructional best practices. The lesson design, facilitation, and program resources work in tandem to facilitate the attainment of the curriculum goals.

Personal & Leadership Development Series: A Curriculum, Cultural Connections

We partnered with the leaders of Cultural Connections Global through many meetings across several months to design a pre-immersive curriculum rooted in an evidenced- based global competency model for the youth leaders of its Global Leadership Institute. Personal & Leadership Development Series: A Curriculum was designed to support the organization’s global education and civic engagement mission.

The co-founders recognized that many of their young emerging leaders required supplemental personal and leadership development to engage more confidently and meet the demands of civic engagement and global competency in global arenas, particularly within the rigorous, academic context of the World International Model UN (WIMUN). At the heart of the curriculum is the participants’ self-cultivation especially regarding character strengths, leadership development, and global competency. The curriculum was customized for the spring 2021 UN Simulation conference with a program plan based on three, 2-hourlong modules for two distinct cohorts of youth leaders, high school and university.

Key Performance Indicator:

When compared to the Institute’s other youth leaders who participated in subsequent UN events but not in the Leadership series (control group), the youth leaders who participated in the pilot Leadership series (experimental group) reportedly engaged in WIMUN with greater self-assuredness and global competency and even earned several distinctions in leadership and consensus building! The control group did not earn any such awards or distinctions.
