Leaders and Responsibilities

Curriculum Lead: The Curriculum Lead is responsible for overseeing the entire implementation process, ensuring that the timeline is followed, and communication is maintained with faculty and stakeholders (Iwasiw et al., 2020). This role is crucial in coordinating the various components of the curriculum change and ensuring that the process remains on track.

Faculty Members: Faculty members play a key role in engaging with new teaching strategies, providing feedback, and actively participating in the curriculum delivery. They are central to the successful implementation of the curriculum as their involvement in both the planning and delivery phases ensures that the changes are practical and effective (McDonald, 2018). Their active engagement also helps in fostering a positive learning environment.

IT/Technology Support: IT and technology support staff are essential in providing technical support for any technology integrations used in the curriculum. The use of technology in nursing education has become increasingly important, and the integration of digital tools requires skilled support to ensure their smooth implementation (McDonald, 2018). This team ensures that all technological resources are available and functioning properly to support both faculty and students.

Human Resources: Human resources are responsible for ensuring sufficient staffing and clinical placement support for faculty. Effective staffing is essential to the successful implementation of a revised curriculum, as adequate faculty and clinical placement support are needed for the new curriculum to be delivered successfully (McDonald, 2018). Additionally, HR helps address faculty development needs, ensuring that the right training and support are available throughout the process.
