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)

Technically Four Types of Curriculum Maps

• Essential Map

• Consensus Map

• Projected/Diary Map

In any mapping system, there are visually up to three types because two map types are housed as one map document.

Mapping is a continuous cycle of designing, reviewing and making decisions based on what has actually happened

(Diary Maps) compared and contrasted with planned learning (Projected Maps/Consensus Maps)

through ongoing curricular dialogue.

Mapping Is An Ongoing Process

“When we travel, road maps become more distinctive the

closer we get to the ‘main destination’.”

Consensus Maps

A school site collaboratively decides on the

sauce and cheese.

Projected/Diary Maps

A teacher decides on

his/her choice of toppings.

Speed Bump by Dave Coverly

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

“Stop asking me if we are almost there, we’re Nomads for

crying out loud!”

Curriculum Mapping is never “done”…

The Far Side®

Curriculum mapping is not something you add to what you already do. It is a replacement model that means learning a new way of conducting the professional business of teachers improving student learning by designing rigorous, vertically aligned curriculum.

The beauty of starting off and moving forward slow, steady, and in small steps is that there will never be an epilogue (Jacobs, Getting Results with Curriculum Mapping, 2004).

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.

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.
