6. Ten Tenets of Curriculum Mapping 1. Curriculum mapping is a multifaceted, ongoing process designed to improve student learning. 2. All curricular decisions are data-driven and in the students' best interest. 3. Curriculum maps represent both the planned and operational learning. 4. Curriculum maps are created and accessible using 21st century technology. 5. Teachers are leaders in curriculum design and curricular decision-making processes.

7. Ten Tenets of Curriculum Mapping 6. Administrators encourage and support teacher-leader environments. 7. Curriculum reviews are conducted on an ongoing and regular basis. 8. Collaborative inquiry and dialogue are based on curriculum maps and other data sources. 9. Action plans aid in designing, revising, and refining maps. 10. Curriculum mapping intra-organizations facilitate sustainability. Hale, J. A. (2008). A guide to curriculum mapping: Planning, implementing, and sustaining the process . Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press.

8. Curriculum (Latin Root) = A Path Run In Small Steps Jacobs (2006) states: Consider the following reality. Johnny has a flotilla of teachers…the total number of teachers that Johnny has over his thirteen years from K-12 ranges from between forty and sixty-five. Curriculum mapping does not guarantee that all of these teachers will become intimately acquainted with Johnny’s needs or his experience. What it can do is provide a real data base allowing any of his teachers to find what he has experienced and is experiencing currently, and it can communicate with more precision with any of the flotilla of teachers through technology . (pp. 114-115) Reference: Jacobs, H.H. (2006) Active literacy across the curriculum. Larchmont, NY: Eye On Education.

9. What is Curriculum Mapping based on Jacobs’ model? Share with a neighbor(s) where you went on a planned trip — and then share " what really happened ! ” Advertisers know how to get potential consumers to remember the qualities (value) of their products… We need to experience a TV ad three times to even begin to remember a product; seven times for it to “stick!”

10. Mapping is a continuous cycle of reviewing and making decisions based what has actually happened ( Diary Maps ) compared and contrasted with curriculum planning ( other Types of Maps ) through ongoing curricular dialogue. Types of Maps Essential Consensus Projected Diary (Monthly) Lesson Plans (Daily) Reality State/Other Standards Proficiency Targets ONGOING PROCESS Mapping Is An Ongoing Process

11. “ Stop asking me if we are almost there, we’re Nomads for crying out loud!” Curriculum Mapping is never “done”… The Far Side ®

12. All Types of Curriculum Maps are… Designed BY Teachers FOR Teachers to aid in generating ongoing collaborations focused on student learning. Collaboration = To work together, especially in a joint intellectual effort

14. Curriculum mapping is a calendar-based (monthly) process for collecting and maintaining an ongoing database of the o perational and planned curriculum throughout a learning organization. Curriculum mapping asks teachers to design the curriculum via authentic examination, collaborative conversation, and student-centered decision making .

20. Curriculum = A Path Run In Small Steps Curriculum Mapping = Systemic Second-Order Change It is all about “doing business” differently. Please realize up front that everyone will be learners for some time , and as with all learners knowledge is best presented in small steps… So, let’s take a look at the types of maps…

34. 21 st Century Mapping… All types of curriculum maps are recorded and accessible via an Internet-based mapping system (Internet Software). Curriculum Mapper TechPaths Rubicon Atlas Most Well-Known Commercial Systems

35. Internet-Based Access... makes mapping interactive . You can conduct reviews in one school, between schools, and throughout the learning organization instantly and easily since all schools are included in the same mapping system! The question is… Which system is the right system for you and your learning organization?

36. It is recommended that you give all three systems a try using a free-trial access code once you know a little bit more about the mapping process and entering the most common initial elements in a map. Take notes, make comparative comments, ask questions of the companies, and make certain all schools are represented in the decision-making process for selecting the system!

37. CM Meetings/Reviews Are Based On Map Data 1. Collection of map data refers to each teacher (or teachers) inputting course learning within a selected Internet-based or self-generated mapping system. (This inputting process takes time . As a norm, teacher(s) input one discipline [Elem] or one course [JH/HS/ Specialists] the first year if projected/diary mapping.) 2. Using the maps as data via a mapping system’s search and report features and other databases/research to solve problems/concerns is equally as important as inputting map data.
