Self-review is an ongoing process. When we recognise that review is concerned with improving the quality of our curriculum, it becomes an important part of our daily practice. The question of timing is determined to some extent by the specific focus of the review and whether our review is planned or spontaneous.

Planned review

Planned review involves a review schedule or plan that spans a period of time (usually between 1 and 3 years). It sets out a plan for regular self-review over time.

Spontaneous review

Spontaneous review takes place in response to an issue or concern. Spontaneous review doesn't wait for a schedule.
