Why are we doing curriculum mapping? Improved curriculum communication Opportunity to view a teacher’s curricula …..With curriculum mapping, a school doesn’t begin with the end in mind and then make changes to bring about that end. It begins with reality and builds toward vision.
How can curriculum mapping benefit a school district? The tremendous value of mapping is that educators at a site can edit, review, validate and develop curriculum and assessment with confidence and in context. Individual teachers can build on previous years with more authenticity and better prepare students for the future. This aids in supporting effective interdisciplinary unit development and supporting alignment of assessments and skills to standards. Bena Kalik, 2005
