Written with the primary audience of faculty and student partners in mind, the examples address both the structures and the experiences of those who participate in this form of pedagogical partnership. The chapter also addresses who might participate in curriculum-focused pedagogical partnerships, what might be the focus of the partnership work, and what the process of such partnership might look like.

Undertaking these forms of partnership requires being clear on what you understand curriculum to be and deciding when in the process of curricular conceptualization and unfolding you want the partnership to take place. What is your definition of curriculum? Consider the definitions offered in this chapter and clarify for yourself what your understanding of curriculum is—and how it does or does not align with your pedagogical commitments and practices. Given your definition, which forms of curriculum-focused pedagogical partnership can you imagine pursuing in your context? Co-planning a course before it is taught? Co-creating or revising while a course is unfolding (either with students enrolled in the course or students not enrolled)? Redesigning after a course has been taught? Making explicit and challenging the hidden curriculum? Other forms? Who might participate in curriculum-focused pedagogical partnerships on your campus—faculty, students, librarians, IT staff, others? How will participants in your context decide on the focus of curricular co-creation? Responding to institution- or department-wide curricular revision mandates? Drawing on faculty and student lived experiences and identities to co-create from the ground up? Faculty inviting students to re-imagine how best to structure engagement with course content? Other drivers or inspirations? What techniques from classroom-focused pedagogical partnerships might you use to inform curriculum redesign?
