Observation
Remember...
Your curriculum map reflects
what actually occurs in your
classroom
Reality is messy
May not be a pretty
document
Thats ok!
Some Guidelines...
Include enough specifics to
make the map useful (so it
tells you something upon
reflection)
Use specific vocabulary vs.
vague/generic terms
Some Guidelines...
Dont write too much!
No need to write out objectives
or complete activities

2. Review data
This analytic tool can be used by:
An individual teacher
A group of teachers of the same grade level or
the same course
A group of teachers from varied grade levels
or varied courses within a department
As an individual teacher...
Can review timing, sequence,
level of instruction
Serves as documentation of
successful instructional activities
Assists in monitoring types of
instructional methods used (ex.,
cooperative learning, direct
instruction, etc.)
As a group of teachers of
the same grade level or
course...
Can share activities and

assessments (both successful
and unsuccessful)
Collaboration enhances team
feeling
Can serve as a guide for new
teachers
As a group of teachers of
varied grade levels or
varied courses within a
department...
Can examine for gaps in the
curriculum
Can note repetitions in the
curriculum
Provides opportunity to
collaborate with colleagues
across grade levels and courses
3. Identify changes that can be made

to
curriculum alignment or curriculum
pacing guides to correct deficiencies

Curriculum Pacing
A Review...
Make sure that your

course curriculum is
aligned with the Standards
of Learning
Develop a pacing guide to
ensure that all tested
topics are taught prior to
the administration of the
SOL test
Use curriculum mapping as
a tool to monitor and fine
tune your curriculum
