What is Mapping?Calendar based curriculum mapping is a procedure for collecting a data base of the operational curriculum in a school or district.It provides the basis for authentic examination of that data base.It replaces curriculum committees with a site based cabinet.

All discussion, debate, and decisions will be based on:
What is in the best interest of our specific clients… the students in our setting: Their age Their stage of development Their learning characteristics Their communities Their aspirations Their needs

What information do we collect on the Map?
ContentAssessmentSkills/Thinking Processes

Your design elements:Choice of CONTENT: the type of format and the nature of the subject matter.Choice of THINKING PROCESSES: the precise technical and thinking skills.Choice of ASSESSMENT: the product or performance to demonstrate learning.

Content can be designed in different formats:
Discipline Field: with integrity; focus on the knowledge and specific problem solving tools.

![Page 10: curriculum Mapping: the big picture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022202/58798d971a28ab95318b504d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Content can be shaped in different formats:
Interdisciplinary: combination of two or more disciplines to examine a common focus.Student Centered: content is focused on investigation of student generated interests derived from their personal interests and needs.

Skills and Thinking Processes are displayed on the map:
Note the difference between broad based thinking processes: analysis, synthesis, decision making, creative, critical, etc… andSpecific techniques: comparing, contrasting, using sentence variety, etc.

Assessments are the Major Products and Performances:
Assessment is a demonstration of learningAssessment is observable evidenceThey must be nounsTangible productsObservable performances

Some questions to think about:
What is possible with these data?What would you be able to do if you had these data?How would your school be different if you had these data available now?

Editing, auditing, updating and creative development tasks:
Gain informationAvoid repetitionIdentify gapsIdentify potential areas for integration
Match with learner standardsExamine for timelinessEdit for coherence

Gain InformationUnderline every place in the map where you learned something new about the operational curriculum.This expands the teacher’s understanding of his/her students’ experience.

Edit for RepetitionsRecognize the difference between repetitions and redundancy.Spiraling as a goal.

Locate potential areas for integration
Peruse the map and circle areas for integration of content, skills, and assessment.These can serve as the springboard for curriculum planning.

Edit for CoherenceScrutinize maps for a solid match between the choice of content, the featured skills and processes, and the type of assessment.

Procedures PHASE 1: collecting the dataPHASE 2: first read-throughPHASE 3: small mixed group reviewPHASE 4: large group comparisonsPHASE 5: determine immediate revision pointsPHASE 6: determine points requiring some research and planningPHASE 7: plan for next review cycle

PHASE 1: Collecting the Data
Each teacher in the building completes a mapThe format is consistent for each teacher, but reflects the individual nature of each classroomTechnology simplifies data collection
24

Collecting Skill and Assessment
Enter the skills and assessments FOREGROUNDED for each unit of study or course.Precision is the key.
Enter skills and assessments that are ongoing through the course of a year.Portfolio checksEarly Childhood assessments.

PHASE 2: First Read-Through
Each teacher reads the entire school map as an editor and carries out the “tasks”.Places where new information was gained are underlined.Places requiring potential revision are circled. (repetitions, gaps, etc.)
27
![Page 28: curriculum Mapping: the big picture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022202/58798d971a28ab95318b504d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PHASE 3: Mixed Small Group
Groups of 5 to 8 faculty members are formed.Groups should be from diverse configurations (I.e. different grade levels and departments)The goal is to simply share individual findings.No revisions are suggested.
28
![Page 29: curriculum Mapping: the big picture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022202/58798d971a28ab95318b504d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PHASE 4: Large Group Review
All faculty members come together and examine the compilation of findings from the smaller groups.Session is facilitated by principal and/or teacher leader.

PHASE 5: Determine areas for immediate revision
The faculty identifies those areas that can be handled by the site with relative ease.The specific faculty members involved in those revisions determine a timetable for action.

PHASE 6: Determining those areas requiring long term planning
Faculty members identify those areas that have implications beyond the site with other sites.Faculty members identify those areas where research is needed.

PHASE 7: The Cycle Continues
The district cabinet meets 3 times annually for review.Task forces report on their timetables.The site based council continues its review of the maps through the course of the year and into the next.

Why Mapping?

Mapping is a Communication Tool
Between teachers in a building.Between teachers in feeding and receiving sites.For parents.For students.

Mapping is a Planning ToolFor curriculum reform.For meeting date standards.For ordering materials, software…For coordinating events.For assessment reform.

Mapping is a Pedagogical Tool
For the new teacher.For the special education teacher.For the new student.For seeing the operational program.For designing staff development.

Mapping needs to be tailored to your locale
The school and district culture.The decision making process.A deliberate timetable.Available time.Leadership at each site.
