Curriculum Reform Idea Competition

Competition Results:

Congratulations to this year's Top 10 Curriculum Reform Idea Competition Winners! Please see the table below. Two teams won first place ($1,000), and four teams each received second ($500) and third ($250) place. We had several fantastic and innovative ideas in addition to these Top 10, and we are looking forward to future competitions!

The efforts and commitment of each team will be shared with the Curriculum Reform Task Force members to further improve our new curriculum. 

The Final Event:

The final event took place via Zoom on Monday April 19 from 5:30PM to 6:15PM for the presentation and final judging of the 10 top idea teams!

Each team had approximately four minutes to briefly present their idea. The select committee ranked finalists, and people’s choice was integrated into the decision.

Disclaimers:

• UPSoM would prefer to work with the idea generators for implementation if possible.  However, UPSoM is not obligated to include the idea generators (participants, team members…) in the further development or implementation of an idea.  (UPSoM can implement an idea that is brought forward in the competition in the most effective way possible – that may or may not involve the people who brought the idea forward)
• By bringing an idea to the competition the idea generators (participants, team members..) are releasing rights they might have that would allow UPSoM to implement the ideas.  (if you enter an idea, the school can implement it if the school wants to)
• Ideas entered into the competition may or may not be implemented by UPSoM.  (just because an idea was entered or even won an award UPSoM is not obligated to implement it)
• The idea generators (participants, team members…) are not obligated to implement the idea – even if it wins an award (just because you brought forward a good idea does not mean you are stuck with making it work)
