Curriculum delivery' - also called ‘support' of learning - takes place when learners engage with a designed curriculum. Learning and teaching staff may have considerable freedom to plan sessions, choose materials, and decide how to support a specific cohort of learners to achieve their goals. Individual learners may also have considerable flexibility in how they engage with curriculum resources. Curriculum delivery addresses the questions ‘how will these learners achieve?' and ‘what challenges and support do they need?' as they encounter the curriculum. Effective curriculum delivery also asks ‘what kinds of interactions are these learners engaging in and how are these being supported'? It also asks ‘how will learners be given feedback on their progress and assessed on their achievements'? and seeks to continuously enhance the opportunities presented for learning.
