  2. USING OUR DATA

  3. The four skills of Curriculum Mapping The ability to articulate what mapping is and why we are doing it. The ability to generate high quality maps in the format agreed upon. The ability to use the software to input data and analyze the data. The ability to participate in conversations using the review process. 3

  4. How do we use our data to impact student achievement? Getting to data informed discussions about our curriculums

  5. What are these conversations really like?

  6. First some basic definitions Diary Map Documents one classroom’s curriculum. Curriculum DATA Essential Map A product that represents a plan or the intended curriculum as agreed upon by a group of educators.

  7. Data Student Achievement Data Student Data Perception Data Curriculum Data How do we USE these to inform instruction?

  8. Targeted Mapping Getting Results Quickly

  9. Dual Purpose Mapping Baseline Mapping (Long term Goal) Targeted Mapping (Short Term Goal) • Building of Essential Maps • Based on a framework • VERY broad – not detailed entries • Align to standards • Identify Spirals / Rigor • Balance assessments • Target state standards • Revise curriculum in targeted areas • Results are seen as revision statements in essential maps

  10. How Targeted Mapping Works Why are you mapping? Pick the Conversation Implemented Curriculum Quality Maps? Collect the Curriculum data Use Review Process Make the Decisions

  11. Steps to plan conversation Use varied sources of data to identify target Brainstorm common vocabulary Identify tag for maps Identify reports from software to be used Generate sample map entries Begin data collection Generate reports, collect assessment data, student work Host conversation using review process

  12. Possible Groups • Grade-level teams • Departments • Feeder Patterns • Vertical • Horizontal • Specific target teams • Whole/part faculty study groups • Interdisciplinary Teams

  13. All revisions or upgrades are documented in the essential maps Revision Statements

  14. Staying Cutting Edge With Technology

  17. Bird by Bird by Ann Lamottan analogy to curriculum design …I also remember a story that I know I’ve told elsewhere but that over and over helps me to get a grip: thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, “Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.
