Who Creates Them?
• There are two groups of people crucial to the creation of a curriculum map:
1. the teachers who provide the information
2. the curriculum team who organize the information.

Mapping is a Tool for:
• Communications – Between teachers, students, administration,
parents, community
• Planning – Curriculum, assessment, reforms
• Resource allocation – Space, time, materials
• Staff development

Mapping is a Blueprint
• To align content, skills and assessments
• Calendar based
• Help discover gaps and repetitions
• Keeps everyone on the same page
• Identify areas for integration

Start by Looking at Samples of Student Work
• It produces a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your program.

Keep the Focus on Results
• Focus on the measurable competences
• Approach skill development as multi-year endeavors– Don’t try to get everything done at once

“A Work in Progress”
• Additions of new teachers
• Alterations to the program of studies
• Changes in state standards

Concept Mapping
Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2008
What is Concept Mapping?
• Concept mapping is a technique for representing knowledge in graphs.
Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2008
Knowledge Graphs: Networks of Concepts
• Networks consist of nodes (points/vertices) and links (arcs/edges).
• Nodes represent concepts and links represent the relations between concepts.
Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2008
Purposes
• Generate ideas
• Communicate complex ideas
• Aid learning by explicitly integrating new and old knowledge;

What is Mind Mapping®?
• A mind map consists of a central word or concept– around the central word you draw the 5 to 10
main ideas that relate to that word. – You then take each of those child words and
again draw the 5 to 10 main ideas that relate to each of those words

The Difference BetweenConcept Mapping & Mind Mapping?
• A mind map has only one main concept,
• While a concept map may have several.
