1.What is the curriculum mapping process?
 Curriculum mapping is an important task used to show proper alignment of program
goals, course objectives, instructional support materials, formative assessment activities,
summative outcomes assessments, and finally the instructional plan. Simply put, it is the
creation of a map showing the path of both teaching and learning from start to finish.
2. What is curriculum mapping and how is it being done?
 In simple terms, curriculum mapping is a process that enables districts to gather data on
what is actually being taught and what students are actually learning. The result of this
process is a curriculum map that teachers can use as a tool to stay organized and as a
framework for daily lesson planning.
3.What are the different types of curriculum maps
 The purpose of the curriculum map is to ensure students have the appropriate preparation,
learning experiences, course sequencing, etc., that students are most likely to achieve the
program’s learning outcomes. If your academic program requires courses from outside of
your unit, then you have obviously selected those courses because they provide crucial
concepts and skills needed by your students. You will need to identify how those courses
are leading toward fulfillment of learning outcomes in your curriculum map.
 The Basic Map/Matrix: Required for curriculum proposals
Typically, the first map/matrix a group creates is more basic—visually demonstrating
broad strokes about the curriculum. These maps assist in identifying gaps and
unintentional redundancies in covering Degree Program Student Learning Outcomes.

 All Degree Program Student Learning Outcomes of the degree program; and
 All courses required in the degree program, even those courses that are required,
recommended, or an elective outside of the academic unit of the program.
 The “Level of Learning” Map/Matrix
The “Level of Learning” Map/Matrix assists programs in agreeing upon desired levels of
learning within and across courses. Faculty members agree upon definitions of learning
for the program, such as “I = Introduced; R – Reinforced; RA – Reinforced through
application; M – Mastery within the context of our curriculum. This approach assists
faculty in scaffolding learning across the curriculum.
 The Course-to-Program Outcome Alignment Map/Matrix
The Social Work Program developed this map/matrix to determine how well their course
outcomes were aligned with their program outcomes. This information provides the
opportunity to understand how outcomes are “scaffolded,” or developed consecutively,
throughout the degree program.

5. Is a curriculum mapping a task of only one teacher?
 Although it is definitely possible for a single teacher to create a curriculum map for the
subject and grade that they teach, curriculum mapping is most effective when it is a
system-wide process. In other words, the curriculum of an entire school district should
be mapped to ensure continuity of instruction.
6.What are the benefits of curriculum mapping?
IT HELPS CREATE A SCHOOL’S IDENTITY OR PERSONA 
As schools commit to specific initiatives, such as design thinking or diversity and
inclusion work, educators can reference these initiatives in the curricular units to
provide evidence of the work.
 IT’S COLLABORATIVE
Because curriculum mapping is collaborative by nature, teachers can easily build
units together, including multidisciplinary units, when common meeting times are
rare. It also allows for curriculum coordinators to work closely and efficiently with
teachers, strengthening an overall faculty culture of collaboration. This is a key
indicator of the ISTE Standards for Educators Collaborator standard 4a, which
instructs educators to "dedicate planning time to collaborate with colleaguest to
create authentic learning experiences that leverage technology."
 IT CREATES A RESOURCE CENTER
Assessments. Activities. You name it – they’re all in one place. With curriculum
mapping, the outcome is a comprehensive resource center that includes hyperlinks
to resources in context.
 IT LIVES WITH THE SCHOOL
 Rather than being owners of their unit planners, teachers have editing rights to the
planners, thus preventing the deletion of files and helping orient new teachers with
what’s been done before. If a teacher leaves the school, the content lives on.
 IT USES TOOLS TEACHERS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH AND
USE EVERY DAY
The last thing teachers want to do is remember another login or learn how to use
yet another tool. Curriculum mapping means more time is spent writing valuable
curriculum rather than learning a new tool.
 IT’S IN THE CLOUD AND IS AUTOMATICALLY SAVED
Because all the information lives in the cloud and is auto-saved, there’s no need to
worry about losing work. Plus, a handy revision history lets users see how a unit
has changed over time.

7. What is mapping in teaching?

 Concept mapping is a great way to build upon previous knowledge by connecting
new information back to it. ... It shows concepts and ideas and the relationships
among them. You create a concept map by writing key words (sometimes enclosed
in shapes such as circles, boxes, triangles, etc.)
8. How do you create a curriculum?
 A curriculum often consists of a guide for educators to teach content and skills.
 Some curricula are general road maps, while others are quite detailed and give
instructions for day to day learning.
 Developing a curriculum can be quite challenging, especially when expectations
have such a large range.
 No matter the situation, it is important to start with a general topic and bring in
more details with each step.
 Finally, evaluate your work to see if any changes need to be made.
9. How does curriculum mapping benefit teachers?
 Schools are increasingly facing challenges to improve student achievement than
ever before. Using the latest education technology, curriculum mapping software
improves collaboration between students, administrators and teachers and propel
student success.  Here are the 10 benefits of using curriculum mapping system to
increase student outcomes.
1. INCREASE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Create and analyze curriculum with compliance to standards. Curriculum mapping
system is a powerful tool designed for teachers using cutting-edge technology for
making continuous learning improvements and increase student achievement.  
2. SIMPLE, USER-FRIENDLY & COST-EFFECTIVE
Curriculum mapping system is an easy-to-use and affordable solution for
educational institutions. By cutting back on the time spent with manual processing,
 institutions can automate, simplify and streamline curriculum tasks to make
teachers more effective.        
3. ENHANCE COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION
Curriculum Mapper allows real-time communication and collaboration between
teachers and students for taking informed decisions.
4. ENRICH LEARNING AND INSTRUCTION DELIVERY
Teachers can upload documents, files and images to their curriculum maps and
provide role-based access to students to view the attachments. Cloud-
based syllabus tracking and lesson planning software  allows easy access to
curriculum, syllabus and lesson plan data wherever you are.
5. PERFORMANCE TRACKER
Curriculum mapping is an ongoing process focused on student learning and
success. Create dashboards and reports on curriculum data including assignments,
examination, tests and assessments to help teachers and administrators track and
analyze the impact of curriculum maps on student achievement.
6. EASY TO INTEGRATE
Technology integration is challenging, but can be made easy after making some
adjustments. Seamlessly integrate Curriculum Mapping software with existing
systems or third party applications.
7. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
The Curriculum Management solution is fully customizable to adapt to the unique
needs of schools across multiple campuses.
8. HIGHLY SAFE & SECURE
Data security breaches is a major area of concern for administrators, but security,
safety and secrecy is not an issue with Curriculum Mapper. Role-based
authentication enables eligible students to safely access records and prevents
unauthorized users to gain entry into the system.
9. CURRICULUM ON THE GO
Curriculum mapping systems can be accessed on mobile devices including iPhone
and Android phones. Get real-time curriculum updates right on the palm of your
hand.
10. FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
By providing flexibility in deployment, the institute can host the curriculum
mapping system on cloud or on premises.

10 Why is mapping important?

 Maps represent the real world on a much smaller scale. They help you travel from one
location to another. They help you organize information. They help you figure out where
you are and how to get where you want to go.
11.What are the disadvantages of concept mapping?
 RELATIONSHIPS
 Sometimes relationships on concept maps become difficult to interpret. One type of
concept map, a spider map, begins with a central concept and expands outward with
related ideas. Such a map may distort the importance of relationships and become
difficult to read. A systems map (that might use arrows to indicate input and output) may
only complicate a difficult concept, creating an intricate puzzle, rather than a learning
tool.

 CRITICAL THINKING

Clearly, educators want to encourage learning with visual aids, but they must avoid
concept maps that discourage critical thinking.

 STAGES OF LEARNING

 Concept maps or graphic organizers may offer limited benefits if instructors introduce
them at the wrong times. Therefore, introducing them too soon may yield disappointing
results. An elementary student may lack the conceptual skill to create or interpret a visual
map. In addition, instructors interested in reading improvement should note that concept
maps work more effectively after reading, rather than before a reading selection. While
advance organizers offer advantages at both stages of reading, instructors need to focus
their time effectively and use concept maps when they are most effective. Clearly,
students with strong auditory but weak visual skills may not profit from concept
mapping; therefore, instructors must evaluate the potential disadvantages of concept
mapping when planning instruction.

12. Is Concept Mapping a teaching strategy?

 Background Concept mapping is a teaching and learning strategy that establishes a bridge
between how people learn knowledge and sensible learning. Aim The present study aims
to explore the effect of concept mapping based learning on students'
cognitive learning levels in nursing administration course.
13.What makes curriculum difficult?
 It is difficult to give a definition for curriculum development, because it will always be
affected very strongly by the context in which it takes place.We can think
of curriculum development as a continuous process, which is relevant to the situation
where it takes place, and flexible, so you can adapt it over time.
14. What is the difference between a curriculum map and scope and sequence?
 Curriculum Scope and Sequence. The scope refers to the areas of development addressed
by the curriculum. The sequence includes plans and materials for learning experiences to
support and extend children's learning at various levels of development.
  Secondly, what is the process of curriculum mapping? Curriculum mapping is
a process for collecting and recording curriculum-related data that identifies core skills
and content taught, processes employed, and assessments used for each subject area and
grade level. Phase 1: Data collection.
15.What is one disadvantage of the mapping or web style of note taking?
 Structured note-taking does not work for everyone. A speaker or lecturer who insists
on structured note-taking can inconvenience those who prefer listening attentively and
referring to a written text later. Some students prefer scribbling points in a stream-of-
consciousness way rather than following a rigid structure. If a teacher evaluates
students on their structured note-taking, a student is forced out of his comfort zone in
adapting to an unnatural way of internalizing information; this can affect his attitude
toward the subject and can harm his performance.
16.What is the difference between a pacing guide and curriculum map?
 The major difference between curriculum maps and pacing guides is that curriculum
maps are for implemented instruction of what will be taught during the current school
year. Pacing guides on the other hand, project what pace (how long on a concept) and
when and how instruction will be adjusted.
17.What is horizontal and vertical curriculum alignment?
 There are two main forms of curriculum alignment. A vertically aligned curriculum is
scaffolded so that the information students learn in a lower grade or a previous course
prepares them for more advanced grades and more challenging work. A curriculum that
is horizontally aligned means that the same material is being taught across different
classrooms in a given grade level, and that the material being taught is in alignment
with the learning standards and assessments established by the district or state. Federal
and state agencies use curriculum alignment to standardize education for the purpose of
improving academic achievement and educational quality. The alignment is also used to
mitigate factors like race, gender and socioeconomic levels that often cause disparity in
academic performance.
18. What is the difference between pedagogy and curriculum?
 In traditional education, curriculum is the content you teach, while pedagogy is seen as
the way in which you teach it. Pedagogy and curriculum thus blend together as the
understanding between how to teach and why you teach in a certain way as defined in K-
12 education.
19. What is curriculum mapping process?
 Curriculum mapping is an important task used to show proper alignment of program
goals, course objectives, instructional support materials, formative assessment activities,
 summative outcomes assessments, and finally the instructional plan. Simply put, it is the
creation of a map showing the path of both teaching and learning from start to finish.
20. Is a curriculum mapping a task of only one teacher?
 Although it is definitely possible for a single teacher to create a curriculum map for the
subject and grade that they teach, curriculum mapping is most effective when it is a
system-wide process. In other words, the curriculum of an entire school district should be
mapped to ensure continuity of instruction.
21.What are the disadvantages of outlining method?
 This system is hard to use if the lecture is too fast. Must be careful to maintain
organization at all times.
22. How do you take notes using the mapping method?
 WRITE DOWN THE MAIN TOPIC
 To begin taking notes with the mapping method, you first need to identify the main topic
that you want to start mapping out. This main point should be the primary concept of the
learning materials you’re working with. It will serve as the central focus point of the
entire map so it’s important to get this choice right from the get-go. Otherwise, you might
end up having to remap your notes, which admittedly is something I’ve done many times
before. You mustn’t choose a very narrow topic here, as a very narrow topic will not give
you enough subtopics to create a proper map with. At the same time, if you choose
something too broad, your map might end up becoming overly massive. In the end, just
give it a go and choose a topic – the best way to learn is by doing! Now, write down the
primary topic in the middle of the document and draw a circle around it. Some people
recommend placing the main topic right in the center of the page, while others place it on
the top of the document. I have found mapped notes to be easier to follow if the top is
used for the main topic. Some people do prefer the aesthetic look of a map that starts
from the very center of the page, though.
 ADD AND CONNECT SUBTOPICS TO THE MAIN TOPIC

What are the subtopics for the main topic that you’ll be covering on the map? If your
chosen main topic is “Parasomnias”, your subtopics might be “sleep terrors”,
“nightmares”, for example. Write down these subtopics around (or below) the main
topics and draw circles around each of them. Then, connect the main topic to the
subtopics with arrows (or just straight lines if you prefer). By now, you should already
start to see a structure to your map. You have the primary concept and smaller subtopics
branching out from it. This is the essence of the mapping method – larger concepts
branching out into smaller concepts.

 ADD FURTHER DETAILS AND FACTS TO THE SUPPORTING IDEAS

 This is the final step of the mapping process. Until this step, you were essentially
categorizing the information you’ll be noting and now, it’s time to fill in the missing
information. Start adding any further details, facts, and thoughts into the diagram and
connect them to the supporting ideas. At this point, it’s not necessary to encircle each fact
and detail, but you can still do so if you prefer. In this illustration, you can see where the
supporting ideas start branching out. That is where you would want to start adding any
further details and facts. However, for the sake of simplicity, I did not include them in the
drawings. And, assuming we filled in all the details and extra facts, it’s now a good idea
to start adding some colors to the map. This will help you identify the various groups of
topics more easily, and it’ll give you a better visualization of the relationships between
facts and concepts.

 REVIEW THE MAPPED NOTES

The review process for the mapping method is unique in that it requires you to recall the
entire structure of the lecture. Instead of reciting a small section of your notes, you will
have to look at the central concept as a whole and this forces you to truly check your
understanding of the materials. Start the review process by covering lines from the notes
with your hand for memory drills. Try to visualize the spatial relationships in your head
and understand where the information you’re reciting belongs in the overall map. Go over
subtopic by subtopic, and recite both the supporting facts and their location within the
hierarchy of information.

23.Why is Lesson Pacing important in the classroom?

 Good pacing gives students the illusion of speed. Pacing is the skill of creating a
perception that a class is moving at “just the right speed” for students. Generally, this will
mean that the lesson appears to unfold more quickly. Effective pacing helps a teacher
hold the students' attention.
