Curriculum mapping overview

Curriculum maps are one of the simplest yet most effective tools for improving teaching and learning. Because they require educators to draw explicit connections between content, skills, and assessment measures, these maps help ensure that all aspects of a lesson are aligned not only with each other, but also with mandated standards and tests.

myMaps simplifies the mapping process by distributing the input and mapping workload. Multiple sources are used to inform decision making and enrich instructional practices. System generated reports provide guidance for reviewing curriculum maps, protocols for analyzing student work and assessment data, and information about using technology to support the process.

By making data-driven decisions, educators can dramatically improve student performance and create an environment that encourages optimism and increases opportunity.
