Curriculum

Design Process

I began by planning and designing the overall structure and curriculum for the entire summer school. As recruited teachers joined the team, I collaborated with each one to design lessons using a template I created. Additionally, I recruited teaching assistants to develop supplementary class materials, including worksheets, PowerPoints, vocabulary books, and more.
