structure of your content area’s curriculum
maps?

9. Guiding Question 2:

11. Guiding Question 2:
How do the curriculum maps inform
instruction?
Do you have any questions about how to
use the curriculum maps when writing
your instructional plans?

12. Guiding Question 3:
How do the curriculum maps support
vertical coherence?

13. Vertical Coherence In Curriculum Maps
Algebra/Geometry Curriculum Map
Module A: Functions, Equations, and Systems
Precalculus Curriculum Map
Module E: Polynomial and Power Functions
Mathematics courses tend to be easier to consider vertical coherence,
many mathematical topics need previous knowledge.
Horizontal may be more difficult!...

14. Guiding Question 4:
How do the curriculum maps support
horizontal coherence?

15. Horizontal Coherence In Curriculum Maps
Curriculum maps provide the foundation for…
• Co-creating Pacing Guides
• Co-planning Instruction
• Common Assessments
• Collaboratively Analyzing Student Data
Where are these things carried out?
In your Professional Learning Teams (PLTs)!

16. Guiding Question 5:
How do the curriculum maps support
interdisciplinary coherence?

17. Interdisciplinary Coherence In Curriculum Maps
Mathematics and Sciences courses oftentimes have the
ability to have overlapping objectives. Even though not
common, adding writing into a mathematics classroom,
aligned with ELA standards is possible and a great thing for
your students to experience!

18. Guiding Questions 3, 4, & 5:
How do the curriculum maps support
vertical, horizontal, and interdisciplinary
coherence?
Do you have any questions on vertical,
horizontal, and interdisciplinary
alignment within and across curriculum
maps?

26. Curriculum Frameworks and
Lesson Planning
• Curriculum framework lesson plans
as examples
• For consistency, consider using
common lesson plan template
• Work in content area PLCs and/or
interdisciplinary groups to co-develop
lessons, instructional activities,
projects, and assessments
