The IEP has a clearly articulated plan for regular curriculum review and modification. The IELI program has always operated with the assumption that the curriculum is flexible and amendable, both by faculty and administrators.
Faculty write goals, create new courses, and select materials.
Within this system of faculty participation, the curriculum is also reviewed. Faculty have been fully involved in all of these reviews, researching issues, reviewing curricular goals, and writing sections of the reports. Formal Review Opportunities IELI does not have a written statement mandating review at specified intervals. However, as a program in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Science, IELI is required, like all USU departments, to undergo a Board of Regents Review every seven years. While not limited to an assessment of curriculum, these reviews require us to describe our curricular practices which provides an opportunity for faculty review.
