What is Curriculum Mapping?

• Curriculum mapping is a process that helps teachers keep track of what has actually been taught throughout an entire year

10

Why Curriculum Mapping?

• The map becomes a tool that is used to help modify and refine next year’s instruction

Remember...

Your curriculum map reflectswhat actually occurs in your

classroom

• Reality is “messy”• May not be a “pretty” document• That’s ok!

27

Some Guidelines...

• Include enough specifics to make the map useful (so it “tells” you something upon reflection)

• Use specific vocabulary vs. vague/generic terms

28

Some Guidelines...

• Don’t write too much!

• No need to write out objectives or complete activities

Steps for mapping...2. Review data

This analytic tool can be used by:

• An individual teacher• A group of teachers of the same grade level or

the same course• A group of teachers from varied grade levels

or varied courses within a department

38

As an individual teacher... Can review timing, sequence,

level of instruction Serves as documentation of

successful instructional activities Assists in monitoring types of

instructional methods used (ex., cooperative learning, direct instruction, etc.)

39

As a group of teachers of the same grade level or course... Can share activities and

assessments (both successful and unsuccessful)

Collaboration enhances “team” feeling

Can serve as a guide for new teachers

40

As a group of teachers of varied grade levels or varied courses within a department... Can examine for “gaps” in the

curriculum Can note “repetitions” in the

curriculum Provides opportunity to

collaborate with colleagues across grade levels and courses

41


3. Identify changes that can be made to curriculum alignment or curriculum pacing guides to correct deficiencies

Social Studies

Realized while mapping that having to write down what she was teaching helped to keep her on track.

Concluded that mapping was an easy way to ensure she stayed focused and followed her pacing guide.

English

Noticed that different teachers were using different novels to teach concepts, and pacing varied greatly.

Identified which novels and pacing formats seemed to be most successful. Shared successful learning activities.

Science

Noticed that test scores were weak in the area of scientific investigation. Realized the process was not being taught consistently across grade levels.

Defined how process would be taught across grades. Agreed to use consistent vocabulary/ terminology.

Curriculum Pacing


47

• Make sure that your course curriculum is aligned with the Standards of Learning

• Develop a pacing guide to ensure that all tested topics are taught prior to the administration of the SOL test

• Use curriculum mapping as a tool to monitor and “fine tune” your curriculum
