The guides — Higher Ed. and K-12 versions available — offer an iterative, step-based approach for bridging the gap from your ideas for improvement or a new course to one that is thoughtfully designed to support student success. The higher ed edition was recently updated to reflect the QM Higher Education Rubric, Seventh Edition.
