Curriculum mapping is an ongoing process that allows teachers to document what is taught in the classroom and align it with standards to improve student achievement. It involves teachers collaborating to map out essential questions, content, skills, assessments, and lessons for each unit to identify gaps and ensure horizontal and vertical alignment. The goal is to support data-informed decision making and ensure the curriculum is meeting student needs.
