Curriculum+Mapping

Curriculum Mapping is a procedure for reviewing the operational curriculum as it is entered into an electronic database at any education setting. It is based largely on the work of [|Heidi Hayes Jacobs] in //Mapping the Big Picture: Integrating Curriculum and Assessment K-12// (ASCD, 1997) and //Getting Results with Curriculum Mapping// (2004, ASCD). A glossary of mapping terms can be found at the [|Curriculum Designers, Inc.] site. New Brighton Area School District is using curriculum templates provided by [|OnHand Schools] that display key components of the curriculum: Essential Questions, Enduring Understandings, Educational Objectives, Assessments, and Materials. Key to the Curriculum Mapping approach is that each teacher enters what is actually taught in real-time during the school year. Teachers and administrators may view the Curriculum Maps using the [|OnHand Schools login]. (This site is password protected.)
