Overview of the curriculum design process
Curriculum design is the process employed by educators to write curriculum. It is written because of purposeful, targeted, and the structured organizing of curriculum. It is the process by which teachers plan instruction for their students. Following state frameworks and district standards and mandates for student achievement, teachers plan using learning approaches that they see best align with student learning styles.

Problem Centered Design
Problem-centered design is an approach that focuses on teaching students how to look at a problem. The approach will focus on using real life problems that the learners may have. They will need to use the prior knowledge they have to solve the problem. Students can be given problems that real-life modeled. Also, this approach encourages students to use creativity (Schweitzer, 2019).
Humanistic Design
Humanistic Design came about as a response to the Behavioral approach to education during the 1950’s. Humanistic Design is based on the belief that learning is the result of response to stimulation. It also makes the connection between learning and feeling that learners experience. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers are two of the leading theorists influenced by humanistic psychology (Ornstein, 2016).
Learner Centered Design
Learner Centered design focuses on the learners’ individual needs, goals, and interests. The Learner Centered design also is not specific to one type of learner but is considerate to each learners’ needs. The aim is to empower learners and allow them to make their own choices as they proceed through their learning. Although this approach is very student oriented, it is more intensive and requires more planning on part of the teacher.
Child-Centered Design
Child or student-centered design is based on the idea that students must be active participants within the learning environment. Unlike subject-centered designs that do not include the learners’ life experiences, child or student-centered designs include the learners’ individual experiences (Ornstein, 2016).
