NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

5.1. Introduction
the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) or the Naval
Reserve Personnel Center (NAVRESPERSCEN). MILPERSMAN
1306-900 contains factors considered in reassignment
decisions.
SECTION 5 - CURRICULUM MANAGERS
Curriculum management is a primary concern of all NETC.
Ensuring that the function of curriculum management is
accomplished requires three different types of specialists:
Subject Matter Expert
Curriculum Developer
Curriculum Development Expert
These specialists are responsible for developing, writing,
assembling, and ensuring the quality of the training
materials. They may also be required to serve as members
of the pilot course monitoring team. The duties of
curriculum managers may be part time or full time depending
on the needs of the command. Curriculum
development/maintenance may be a collateral duty of the
instructor or a contracted function.
The ideal situation for curriculum projects is for the LC
CO to have all three types of personnel available when a
project is required. If this is not possible, some of the
functions may be combined or contracted out.
Curriculum managers fundamentally work as members of the
LSO.
Refer to Appendix A for IS training for curriculum managers
and developers. Navy e-Learning should be evaluated to
provide additional training topics for all personnel
involved in training management and maintenance.
5.2. SME. The SME’s primary responsibility is to provide
technical support to the curriculum project.
The SME is not required to be a certified instructor; often
the system/equipment expertise is at the Training Support
Agency (TSA) or program manager’s office.
The SME must have a fundamental understanding of the
curriculum development/revision process.
