Budget Change Request - July 9, 2020 - Curriculum Development[edit]

Budget change request[edit]

We would like to spend $1,500 to employ a curriculum development expert to work with the WiR to adapt OCLC's curriculum for our context. We would take this money from the WiR salary.

Rationale[edit]

When speaking with OCLC, they recommended we have an expert work on curriculum adaptation to make sure it would suit this new cultural and educational context.
