Curriculum Development Cycle

 The Curriculum Development Cycle proposed by Peyton and Peyton (1998) note that the curricular cycle “involves development through needs assessment, design and implementation phases. After this, outcomes are reviewed and evaluated against the original needs assessment. Needs change with societal expectations. The emphasis on different aspects varies with the participants’ and teachers’ perceived needs. The dynamic curriculum requires change and resource management”.

In developing a new programme, or modifying an existing one, there are a number of stages which must be completed within the curricular cycle. But that's something we can talk about later.
