Phases of Curriculum Mapping Copyright ©2011 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 22 Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs* takes a four-phased approach to professional development for curriculum mapping: – Laying the Foundation – Launching the Process – Maintaining, Sustaining, and Integrating the System – Advanced Mapping Tasks

Phases of Curriculum Mapping Copyright ©2011 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 23 Phase 1: Laying the Foundation Involves preparing to institute curriculum mapping within a school/district/organization.

Phases of Curriculum Mapping Copyright ©2011 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 24 Phase 2: Launching the Process Involves assessing how to organize and orchestrate curriculum mapping based on the faculty's readiness level. Many schools/districts/organizations want to jump to this stage first before doing the necessary preparatory work with laying the foundation.

Phases of Curriculum Mapping Copyright ©2011 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 25 Phase 3: Maintaining, Sustaining, and Integrating the System Consists of embedding mapping in the school/district/organization. In doing so, mapping becomes the basic way of communication to share curriculum, assessment, and integrating in instruction with the standards.

Phases of Curriculum Mapping Copyright ©2011 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 26 Phase 4: Advanced Mapping Tasks Involves looking at new ways of teaching to use in the instruction process. – Integrate 21 st Century skills into existing maps. – Identify ways to keep maps current.
