In our OSGeo edu group, we've been discussing how to develop, as a group, GIS curricula issues and how this relates to OSGeo edu efforts. Some of the discussions, to date, have centered around the Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge
http://www.aag.org/bok/.

Readers might be interested in the GIS Certification Institute, (http://www.gisci.org/) which provides a database of Certified GIS Professionals and their own "GISP" Certification. As we continue to work on our curriculum effort, we might want to keep this resource in mind.
