Curriculum design is another critical aspect of an academic’s professional portfolio and development. Candidates must submit a portfolio of problems that contain the following:

1.     Samples of 5 problem packages that have been internally reviewed by the respective department’s curriculum team (candidate must be the primary author if the problems are co-developed).

2.     Critique of 2 of the problems submitted that showcase the candidate’s understanding of students’ inquiry paths and rationale for the design of the problem.

3.     Evidence of students’ responses (such as presentations and discussion notes) to selected problems.

4.     Samples of understanding test questions and student’ responses that demonstrate the link between the problem objectives and desired assessment outcomes.

5.     Review of problems earlier submitted (for those undergoing subsequent certification).
