Vision: Why Now? K-12 Curriculum Development - 2 views

  •  
    Curriculum mapping is an ongoing process which asks teachers to develop curriculum goals, identify essential content, skills and concepts, and reflect on the taught curriculum. Some school districts make the mistake of diving into curriculum mapping and attempting to complete a product. When teacher teams become satisfied with the product, then the process is at risk. If a principal or superintendent asks teachers to change their focus from curriculum mapping to test item development or writing across the curriculum, then teachers soon realize that curriculum mapping was a fad and is no longer "the main thing.""

  •  
    "At Graham Elementary, part of L'Anse Creuse Public Schools in Michigan, our elementary school staff decided to take an evaluative look at the use of technology in the classroom through a self-study process and a district technology initiative called Project 2000 over a two-year period. The faculty had the opportunity to determine a new direction relative to technology integration, and, to that aim, we determined that curriculum mapping, study groups, and an onsite technology coach would be a model for our professional development efforts.

What To Do With Frustration | Mindsteps Inc. - 0 views

    "I was recently working with a group of teachers who were tasked with redesigning their curriculum maps to make them more rigorous. I had been working in the district for some time and they were adopting our Rigor Blueprint as a model for how they would implement their new standards with rigor. After introducing the Rigor Blueprint to teachers and explaining how it would help them unpack the standards AND help all student reach or exceed the standards the teachers were firmly on board."

There are standards for administrators, standards for teachers and standards for students. There are even standards for conducting professional development. "
