  3. What is Curriculum Mapping? Curriculum Mapping is a description of what is going on in the classroom in “real” time. It is less detailed than lesson plans but more detailed than a course/unit description.

  4. What is Curriculum Mapping?

  5. Curriculum Mapping Defined~ Curriculum mapping takes place within a grade level and between grade levels. Mapping is a procedure for reviewing the operational curriculum as it is entered into an electronic database at any education setting. Schools are using curriculum templates that display key components of the curriculum: content, skills, assessments, and essential questions.

  6. Purpose of Curriculum Mapping~ Curriculum mapping is a way to create a more effective curriculum by engaging all teachers and staff in a collaborative effort.

  7. Curriculum Mapping is Beneficial~ When teachers are using a curriculum map, all teachers are teaching the same concept at the same time. The teacher is benefited in that they knows where their fellow teachers are and can stay on the same page with them in teaching.

  8. Curriculum Mapping Promotes Consistency~ Teachers will find that using a curriculum map contributes to their teaching consistency. They no longer wonder what the children in the previous grade had learned. The teacher can better collaborate with fellow teachers in another grade, knowing what they will be covering in a specific subject.

  9. Curriculum Mapping and State Standards~ With curriculum mapping, the lesson plans are written using state standards. Each state has its own criteria of what a teacher should be teaching at which grade level. With curriculum mapping, the teacher knows their lessons will match with the state standards.

  10. More Purposes for Curriculum Mapping~ • Aligning instruction to the written standards • Developing integrated curriculum units • Providing a baseline for the curriculum review and renewal process • Identifying staff development needs • Most important, providing communication among teachers

  19. "Our students need us to know their experiences over the course of time. They need us to know what's really going on in their daily classes as they move among teachers and subjects. They need us to know and give credence to their work from year to year. Not only will the district be informed about what is going on within the classroom, but parents and the community will also have this knowledge." -Heidi Hayes Jacobs author of Mapping the Big Picture:  Integrating Curriculum and Assessment K-12

  20. Where do we begin? Seven Phases of Curriculum Mapping: 1. Collecting the Data 2. The First Read-Through 3. Mixed-Group Review Session 4. Large Group Review 5. Determine Those Points That Can Be Revised Immediately 6. Determine Those Points That Will Require Long-Term Research/Development 7. The Review Cycle Continues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKrfQ9s9kX8

  21. Getting Started… Discuss with your fellow teachers what you are teaching, when you are teaching it, and why you are teaching it. ~Focus on~ • Units/Content • Skills/Strategies • Essential Questions • Assessments • Resources
