It’s Time for Curriculum Mapping 3.0
Thursday June 5, 2025 9:15am - 11:45am CDT
Curriculum mapping is a well-established process for ensuring a coherent and vertically aligned curriculum across the grades. The first generation of curriculum mapping asked teachers to generate diary maps to identify the unit topics and skills they taught, placed on a calendar map to show when they were taught and for how long. Then, grade-level or department teacher teams would meet to share their individual maps and look for gaps or redundancies. The second generation of curriculum mapping emerged as states, provinces, and nations developed standards that teachers were expected to follow. Typically, teachers met in teams to create consensus maps showing the scope and sequence for the curriculum based on the standards.
These two types of curriculum maps basically identify the inputs – the content to be “covered” in a designated time period. While there is a need for a scope of sequence, the focus exclusively on the content to be taught may unwittingly promote a “coverage” orientation to teaching and learning. The third generation calls for a shift to outcomes or competencies by mapping out the performances that we want students to be able to do with their learning.
This session will make the case for curriculum mapping 3.0, show examples of curriculum maps of authentic performance tasks, and share a variety of practical and proven resources for creating such maps at the classroom, department, and school levels.
