1. Curriculum mapping
Curriculum mapping is a procedure for reviewing the
operational curriculum[1]
as it is entered into an elec-
tronic database at any education setting. It is based
largely on the work of Heidi Hayes Jacobs in Mapping
the Big Picture: Integrating Curriculum and Assessment
K-12 (ASCD, 1997) and Getting Results with Curriculum
Mapping (2004, ASCD). Schools are using curriculum
templates that display key components of the curriculum:
content, skills, assessments, and essential questions.
Some states such as South Dakota have adopted curricu-
lum mapping on a state-wide basis and provide detailed
online curriculum mapping resources for their profes-
sional staff.[2]
Other states such as Indiana have mandated
curriculum mapping as a tool for schools which do not
meet Adequate Yearly Progress and also provide numer-
ous online tools.[3]
Key to the approach is that each teacher enters what is
actually taught in real-time during the school year, in
contrast to having an outside or separate committee de-
termine decisions. The entries by teachers are not left
alone, however; in fact, because the work is displayed
via internet-based programs, it is open to view by all per-
sonnel in a school or district.[4]
This allows educators to
view both K-12 and across grade levels and subjects what
is transpiring in order to be informed and to revise their
work.
The curriculum mapping model as originally defined by
Dr. Jacobs has seven specific steps[5]
that schools use
to thoroughly examine and then revise their curriculum.
There are both commercial companies and not-for-profit
groups that have generated curriculum mapping software
used around the world. Related to mapping, but separate
from it, is the concept of a curriculum audit, described
by Fenwick W. English. in “Deciding What to Teach and
Test: Developing, Auditing, and Aligning the Curricu-
lum” (1999, Sage).
Curriculum mapping is not limited to United States
public schools.[6]
A number of independent schools have
adopted the curriculum mapping process[7]
to review and
revise their curriculum. The bulk of schools using cur-
riculum mapping outside the US tend to be independent
schools that follow an international curriculum (such as
IB, AERO, or IGCSE) or public schools located in Anglo-
Saxon countries.
