What is Curriculum Mapping?
Curriculum mapping is a process that helps teachers keep track of what has actually been taught throughout an entire year
11
Why Curriculum Mapping?
The map becomes a tool that is used to help modify and refine next year’s instruction
12
implemented curriculum
A Pacing Guide is an outline of the intended curriculum A Curriculum Map is an outline of the implemented curriculum
13
Steps for mapping... 1. Collect data (record what was actually taught) using a calendar-based format: Content Skills Activities Assessments
15
This analytic tool can be used by:
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
16
Steps for mapping... 3. Identify changes that can be made to
curriculum alignment or curriculum pacing guides to correct deficiencies

Your curriculum map reflects what actually occurs in your classroom
Remember... Your curriculum map reflects what actually occurs in your classroom Reality is “messy” May not be a “pretty” document That’s ok!
28
Some Guidelines... Include enough specifics to make the map useful (so it “tells” you something upon reflection) Use specific vocabulary vs. vague/generic terms
29
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
39
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.)
40
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
41
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
42
Steps for mapping... 3. Identify changes that can be made to
curriculum alignment or curriculum pacing guides to correct deficiencies
44
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.
45
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.
46
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.

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 A Review...
