| Mapping & Planning |
| |
|
|
| The unit based curriculum mapping process answers key questions related to classroom instruction. It provides teachers with a guide to what to teach, when it is taught and how to conduct classroom activities and assessments. The map can be modified at any time to account for gaps and overlaps in instruction related to the aligned standards, student achievement and assessment results. |
 |
 |
|
Units and Time Frames: Create curriculum maps based on course units and the time frame the information is scheduled to be taught.
|
|
|
|
Essential Questions: Define essential questions to include with each unit or map.
|
|
|
|
Standards: Link state, district and/or school standards, benchmarks and indicators to a map.
|
|
|
|
Viewing and Printing: Select one or more maps for a course to automatically generate a comprehensive course map for viewing and printing.

|
| Standards Integration & Analysis |
| |
|
|
| The system comes pre-loaded with a school’s state standards and has the ability to customize standards to meet the district’s and school’s needs. Teachers can then create curriculum maps and align the units to one or more standards, benchmarks, and indicators. You can then generate reports to show where and how often a standard is being taught. |
|
|
|
State Standards: Get state standards pre-loaded into the system so that teachers can connect them to their unit maps.
|
|
|
|
District Standards: Customize and manage standards to meet your district's specific needs. Or integrate district and school standards directly into the system.
|
|
|
|
Curriculum Alignment: Align course curriculum directly to the standards that need to be taught.
|
|
|
|
Repetition and Gap Analysis: Generate reports for a course or across courses to compare when a standard is being taught and how frequently.
|
|
| |
|
|
| Collaboration and Sharing |
| |
|
|
| The advanced security structure gives a district the ability to define collaboration groups for curriculum map development. Access to curriculum maps can be assigned on a per teacher basis allowing them to share lesson plans, collaborate on best practices and provide constructive feedback. |
|
|
|
Collaboration Groups: Assign teachers that are teaching the same course to collaboration groups so that curriculum being taught is common across schools and classes.
|
|
|
|
Map Sharing: Advanced security structure allows teachers to give other teachers access to view and update their maps.
|
|
|
|
Copying Maps: Once a collaborative map has been created, each teacher can copy the map to customize it for their own class.
|
|
|
|
Rolling Over Maps: An entire course can be copied and rolled over to make changes for the next school year.
