How can curriculum mapping assist you? Do you have one? Does your school/district curriculum
map? Where would/will you start in
creating a useful curriculum map for your classroom?
Curriculum Mapping (CM) is very important for me. If I was
traveling to another country or place I want to know where I’m going. When I’m
there or even during the trip I could make detours and side trips ut the map
keeps me on track. CM’s are the same. I have my entire year planned out for me.
I fill in the detail but the basic journey is mapped.
My school district uses Beyond Textbooks (BT). All my
weekly, monthly and yearly units are planned. If I did not have a map I would
look to online resources or set up a
meeting (or three) with other Social Studies Teachers in the district to
plan out our year.
How nice to have your yearly plans done! That is a lot of work if you have to do it yourself. Hopefully there is enough wiggle room for you to add in your own personal touches.
