Abstract
The increasing emphasis on assessing the quality of educational programs and ensuring a positive job outlook for graduates, coupled with the persistent identity issues of family science programs, points to the need for a flexible yet comprehensive tool for framing and advancing family science curricula. The purpose of this paper is to describe THINK, VALUE, COMMUNICATE, LEAD (TVCL), a curricular revision process used to define student learning objectives and tie program level assessments with course level assessments within undergraduate family and community services (FCS) programs. The process, driven by the question What do we want an FCS graduate to look like?, addresses the progression of course material, redundancy and gaps in the curriculum, consistency across course sections, and the empowerment of students in their own learning. This TVCL process is described along with practical implementation strategies that can assist other family science programs in their own curricular revision efforts.
