Ask instructors of the current program to review a draft of the modified curriculum. Ask them to
suggest ways to improve clarity and/or enhance the exercises designed to translate the concepts
into examples/scenarios that would be used on the job.
If applicable, also consult industry stakeholders familiar with the current program.
Validate the modified curriculum
with the instructional staff and
other stakeholders, as required

Revise the curriculum in light of the input from instructors and stakeholders, and prepare the
final curriculum documents. These may include, for example, course materials for students,
an instructor's workbook and slides for instructors.
In our pilot project, changes to the curriculum included: new text on how to use Ontario's
Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations as a reference document, new
explanatory content for different types of calculations, and updated calculation examples that
included substeps. Examples of these changes (before and after) are included in this guide
(see Appendix A).
