quotes from teachers
“A strong curriculum is the foundation for strong teaching and learning”
“[Curriculum Mapping] has provided the tools to build
a cohesive learning community with teachers as the chief architects and
builders”
“Mapping has provided a process for collegial dialogue
as it focuses on alignment of content, skills, assessments, and activities . . . with its ultimate
goal of improving student achievement.”
“Curriculum mapping is the logical hub for the
work of school improvement.”

Unpacking Questions
How will this software help to facilitate vertical and horizontal planning within departments? How will we use this software to facilitate cross-curricular planning?
By using this mapping, how will it help us as a school articulate the implementation of ESLR’s, library skills, study skills, and writing across the curriculum (Action Plan Items)?
