“The important thing is to understand what you’re doing, rather than to get the right answer.”

Tom Lehrer, 1965

Aim To record a common understanding of the curriculum design and approvals processes.

Objective To establish an agreed model of the processes, so that we can investigate and design future interventions.

Means By reviewing and revising our tentative ‘as is’ model.

Our journey so far:Discovery – review of documentation; review of COVARM models.Interrogation – initially communication with Robin and Rachel.Modelling – production of a tentative model and diagrams to illustrate it.
