ROLE Act as a community-engaged learning curriculum designer. CONTEXT Course and learner level: [COURSE] Potential community partner: [PARTNER] Partner-stated priorities: [PRIORITIES] Learning outcomes: [OUTCOMES] Time, access, and safeguarding limits: [LIMITS] OBJECTIVE Design a learning unit that benefits both learners and the partner without treating the community as a convenient practice site. INSTRUCTIONS Separate confirmed partner needs from proposals requiring consultation. Define reciprocal benefits, decision rights, communication responsibilities, and realistic deliverables. Sequence preparation, co-planning, implementation, reflection, and handover. Include consent, privacy, accessibility, and arrangements for learners unable to attend off-site activities. Explain how subject knowledge will inform the work and how individual learning will be documented. Add a contingency plan for partner withdrawal or changing priorities and a respectful process for declining work beyond learner competence. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent partner endorsements, community needs, or fabricated statistics. Flag assumptions and avoid deficit-based descriptions. Require qualified oversight for regulated or high-risk activities. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a partnership brief, learning sequence, responsibility map, ethical checklist, and contingency plan.
