Welcome to COTE@Duke

Mastering Occupation-Centered Education Across the Curriculum

What is our mission?

The mission of COTE is to Re-imagine Occupation-centered Education through research and professional development. All initiatives at COTE are driven by the Subject-centered Integrative Learning Model (SCIL-OT), a profession-specific education model that guides educators in curriculum and instructional design and teaching. The SCIL-OT is integrated with the best instructional and curriculum design practices from the field of education.

Consider working with us to

  • Make occupation more explicit in courses, class sessions, materials, assignments, and learning assessment strategies,
  • Re-imagine occupation-centered learning and explore a model to help ground the whole curriculum in occupation,
  • Link learning outcomes and assessment more closely with occupation,
  • Launch a curriculum (re)design process,
  • Align the elements of a curriculum design across aim, learning philosophy, learning outcomes, and others.
