CURRICULUM MAPPING

 Curriculum mapping is a model for designing, refining, upgrading and reviewing the curriculum.
 It is reflected process that helps teachers understand what has been taught in class, how it has
been taught and how learning outcomes are assessed.
 Heidi Hyes Jacobs in 2004 in her book, Getting Results with Curriculum Mapping
 ongoing process or “work-in-progress”
 a map to success
FIVE (5) COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT CURRICULUM MAPPING
 What do my students learn?
 What do they study in the first quarter?
 What are they studying in school throughout the year?
 Do my co-teachers who handle the same subject, cover the same content? Achieve the same
outcomes? Use similar strategies?
 How do I help my students understand the connections between my subjects and subjects
within the year or next year?
BENEFITS OF CURRICULUM MAPPING
1. Curriculum mapping ensures alignment of the desired learning outcomes, learning activities and
assessment learning.
2. Curriculum mapping addresses the gaps or repetitions in the curriculum.
3. Curriculum mapping verifies, clarities and establishes alignment between what students do in
their courses and what is taught in the classrooms and assess as their learning.
4. The curriculum maps visually show important elements of the curriculum and how they
contribute to students learning.
5. Curriculum mapping connects all initiatives from instruction, pedagogies, assessment
professional development.
CURRICULUM MAPPING PROCESS
Detailed Steps:
1. Make a matrix or a spread sheet.
2. Place a timeline that you need to cover (one quarter, one semester, one year).
3. Enter the intended learning outcomes, skills needed to be taught
or achieved at the end of the teaching.
4. Enter on the same matrix the content areas/subject areas to be covered.

5. Align and name each resource available such as textbooks, workbooks, module next subject areas.
6.  Enter the teaching-learning methods to be used to achieve outcomes.
7. Align and enter the assessment procedure and tools to the intended learning outcomes, content
areas and resources.
8. Circulate the map among all involved personnel for their inputs.
9. Revise and refine map based on suggestions and distribute to all concerned.

The Curriculum Map
 Curriculum maps are visual timelines that outline desired learning outcomes to be achieve,
content, skills and value taught, instructional time, assessment to be used, and the overall
student movement towards the attainment of the intended outcomes.
 A map can reassure stakeholders specific information for pacing and alignment of the subject
horizontally or vertically.
Horizontal alignment – called sometimes as “pacing guide”, will make all teachers, teaching the same
subject in a grade level follow the same timeline and accomplishing the same learning outcomes.

Vertical alignment – will see to it that concept development which may be in hierarchy or in spiral
form does not overlap but building from a simple to more complicated concepts and skills.
