The Project
The Project
I was brought on as a subcontractor to deliver a five-unit SEL curriculum to a museum client in time for the museum's opening seven months later. Centered around the heroic acts of ordinary Americans, the museum sought a research-backed curriculum that developed students' ability to act with courage, integrity, and commitment. To cater to a variety of contexts and modalities, the units needed to function as stand-alone units as well as work in sequence.
The Process
The Process
Reviewed two pilot units, teacher and client pilot feedback, and expert research.
Led meetings with the contractor and client to clearly articulate the curriculum goal, narrative, and timeline.
Developed a standards-aligned scope and sequence that streamlined the pilot units and proposed three new units.
Led regular check-in meetings to provide progress updates and verify adherence to research and project goals.
Wrote and developed student notebooks, facilitator's guides, and slides for revised pilot units and new units, proposing new designs and layouts.
Collaborated with the contractor's designer to create visually appealing icons and activity layouts.
Developed a workflow to move deliverables through in-house copyediting, digital production, and feedback application.
Worked with the client's web designer to format the materials for coherent presentation on The Achievery.
