Designing Occupation-Centered Curricula and Instruction for Occupational Therapy Students

This essential resource provides educators with practical guidance to design and deliver occupation-centered education for occupational therapy students.

Based on the Subject-Centered Integrative Learning Model for Occupational Therapy (SCIL-OT), a robust guide for instructional design, the book can be used to create and implement a single assignment, an entire course, or a whole curriculum. Applicable across different countries or regions, readers will explore the educational foundations and elements of the SCIL-OT, and how they can be applied to both teaching and creating learning materials. Supported throughout with stories, examples, and sample activities, the book is aimed at the growing numbers of graduate students and educators who create or revise occupational therapy curricula, courses, and learning experiences across university- and practice-based learning situations.

The first book to offer occupational therapy educators with how-to guidance in occupation-centered curriculum and instructional development, it will be an essential resource for forming future practitioners who embody the distinct values of this important profession.
