How to Build a Workshop Curriculum Planner

Step-by-step guide

6 steps

1. 1

   Define your curriculum structure

   Map your curriculum: program → modules → sessions → activities. Each level may have its own fields: learning objectives, duration, materials required, and assessment method.

2. 2

   Describe the planner to Appaca

   Tell Appaca: "Build a curriculum planner with programs (name, audience, duration), modules per program (title, sequence, learning objectives), sessions per module (date, duration, activities, facilitator notes, materials checklist), and a delivery calendar."

3. 3

   Build your program structure

   Enter your programs with their modules and sessions in sequence. This becomes your curriculum map - a single source of truth for every facilitator.

4. 4

   Add activities and materials

   For each session, list the activities in order with estimated time per activity. Add a materials checklist: handouts, flip charts, slides, equipment.

5. 5

   Add facilitator notes

   Add notes for each session: key messages to reinforce, common participant questions, timing adjustments, and energy management techniques.

6. 6

   Review before each delivery

   Before each workshop, open the session plan and review activities, materials, and facilitator notes. This 15-minute review ensures consistent delivery quality.
