The Curriculum Renewal Guide is intended to serve as a starting point for units interested in starting a curriculum renewal initiative, or a unit that is in the process of making curricular changes and would like guidance on a particular step. The guide outlines the principles and process for undertaking a curriculum renewal initiative. For each step in the process, readers will find a detailed description of what that step entails, along with guiding questions and suggestions for the unit to consider.
