WHAT IS IT?WHY IS IT NEEDED? • Documents how the curriculum is linked to State Standards and school learning outcomes for students. • Allows teachers to check curriculum for overlaps, gaps, or inconsistencies. • Helps to identify opportunities for integration with other subjects • Provides a review of assessment methods and resources. • Identifies what students are learning and allows teachers to build upon prior knowledge. http://www.mtplcsd.org/www/mtplcsd/site/hosting/Curriculum_Mapping_for_Parents.pdf
Curriculum maps can be aligned both horizontally and vertically, organizing content, skills, assessments, and resources over time. A curriculum map can also serve as a tool for collecting data about the implemented curriculum in a school and in a district—the instruction that students are experiencing. By mapping what's actually taught and when it's taught, teachers produce data that can be used with assessment data to make modifications in instruction (Educational Leadership, December 2003/January 2004).
