Dr. Isaac M. Levesque

Isaac Levesque is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at International University Canada, where he teaches and supports students across the School of Education. His academic work focuses on curriculum design, examining how learning objectives, content sequencing, and instructional materials are structured to support coherent and effective student learning across subject areas and grade levels.

Throughout his early academic career, Isaac Levesque has built a teaching approach grounded in backward design principles, helping students understand that effective curriculum development begins with clearly defined learning outcomes before working backward to determine appropriate content, activities, and assessments. He encourages students to design curriculum with clear purpose rather than simply organizing content topically.

In his courses, Isaac Levesque draws on curriculum design case studies, learning objective frameworks, and current research in curriculum theory to help students build practical curriculum development skills. Students explore topics such as backward design methodology, content sequencing and scaffolding, alignment between objectives and assessments, and strategies for designing curriculum that accommodates diverse learner needs.

As an Assistant Professor within the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, Isaac Levesque also supports curriculum development that reflects current best practices in instructional design and learning theory. He works closely with senior faculty across the School of Education to ensure that coursework prepares students for real curriculum development roles within schools and educational organizations.

Isaac Levesque is especially attentive to helping students design curriculum that is genuinely inclusive of diverse learners, recognizing that effective curriculum must account for varying prior knowledge, learning styles, and access needs among students. He designs coursework that consistently incorporates universal design for learning principles into curriculum development practice.

Recognizing that many of his students are working professionals studying online, Isaac Levesque structures his courses with accessible design frameworks, clear curriculum mapping tools, and consistent opportunities for applied discussion. His approach to online teaching emphasizes building practical curriculum design skills that students can apply directly within their own educational settings.

Students who study under Isaac Levesque often highlight his ability to make curriculum design feel structured and purposeful rather than overwhelming. His long-term goal as an educator is to help students develop the design skills needed to support careers in curriculum development, instructional design, and educational program planning.
