The document describes the process of redesigning the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program (PIDP) using an outcomes-based curriculum mapping approach. In February 2009, program faculty participated in a mapping exercise to define program outcomes and determine how existing courses aligned with these outcomes. However, the limited time for the exercise prevented completing the full mapping. In subsequent revisions, the faculty focused on aligning topics and content to outcomes, facing challenges in moving away from the original mapping. Lessons indicated that while outcomes mapping was useful, the process required more time and training for faculty accustomed to traditional curriculum development.
