Curriculum Lab

What is Curriculum Lab?

Curriculum Lab is bespoke curriculum development support for teams across Warwick. We partner with you on the questions that matter most in your context — redesigning a programme, evaluating modules, embedding inclusive practice, rethinking assessment, or tackling a specific challenge in your discipline.

What can a Lab look like?

Every Lab is shaped around your team's priorities, starting point, and timescales. That might mean:

• Mapping and aligning a programme so that intended learning outcomes, assessment, and learning activities work together coherently
• Rethinking assessment across a module or programme
• Designing for inclusion — for example, with neurodiverse students, or to embed anti-racist or decolonial practice
• Embedding ESD, employability, or digital practice into existing curricula
• Working through a specific design challenge that's surfaced from student feedback, NSS, or a periodic review

A Lab can run as anything from a one-hour focused session to a full away-day, or as a series of interventions across a term — whatever fits the work.

How to get started

Email Jo Kukuczka at jo.kukuczka@warwick.ac.ukand we'll set up a short Teams consultation (15–30 minutes) to unpack what you're working on. If email suits you better, we're happy to scope things out that way instead.

From there, the process usually looks like this:

1. Consultation— a brief conversation to understand your team, your context, and what you're hoping to shift.
2. Proposal— I'll draft a session (or series) tailored to your needs. Where it adds value, I'll co-design and co-facilitate with another ADC colleague, members of your team, or PGA CDHE alumni and Curriculum Experts, so the work draws on the most relevant expertise.
3. Agreement— we confirm the plan, format, and dates.
4. Delivery— anything from an hour to a full day, or a series of interventions over a term.
5. Evaluation— we reflect on what worked and what's next, so the Lab feeds into your team's ongoing curriculum work.
