Describes the process through which schools detect gaps in learning between curricula, by analyzing a database where teachers enter course planning, content, skills, and assessment information. Any gaps detected are managed appropriately to ensure that the standard of learning provided at the institution meets district or state requirements.
My school district has been curriculum mapping for years. We now have developed pacing guides that we use as a diary map. It is a great way to see the entire year and plan accordingly. I use both to develop my weekly lesson plans. We also put in our assessments.
