22. 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

23. 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.

24.

Many schools/districts/organizations want to jump to this stage first before doing the necessary preparatory work with laying the foundation.

25. 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.
