How are you going to get your learners to the desired outcome, your curricular moonshot? As famously asked by Alice in Wonderland, will any way get you there? This session will begin with a twenty-minute sprint examining the importance of an institution’s mission, vision, and values at the beginning of any curriculum design project. While especially important for large-scale curricular change efforts, this is relevance to all types of curricular design. Participants will be instructed to review their own organization’s mission, vision, and values statements and contemplate how their current curriculum fits within those stated goals. We will then discuss the importance of crafting operating principles, which can be thought of as the specifications for how to build a unique vessel that meets your institution’s mission/vision/values and gets you to the moon. Next, participants will spend twenty minutes working in groups of five to write three to five operating principles for a hypothetical institution. In this fun and energizing activity, participants will experience what it is like to translate often lofty goals into practical statements that can guide curricular blueprinting. In the final twenty-minute sprint, we will come together to examine the diversity of operating principles that can flow from a single set of values. We will discuss the challenges that come in negotiating these decisions, the pitfalls that occur when this important step is skipped, and how to use your operating principles to communicate for curricular change.
