CURRICULUM
MAPPING
 It is done before curriculum implementation or the
operationalization of the written curriculum.

 introduced by Heidi Hayes Jacobs in 2004 in

her book Getting results with Curriculum
Mapping (ASCD, 2004).

 an ongoing process or “work in progress”

CURRICULUM
MAPPING
 as making a map to success.
1. What do my students learn?
2. What do they study in the first quarter?
3. What are they studying in the school throughout the year?
4. Do my co-teachers who handle the same subject, cover the same
content? Achieve the same outcomes? Use similar strategies?
5. How do I help my students understand the connections between
my subjects and other subjects within the year? Next year?
 Curricular maps maybe simple or elaborate
that can be used by individual teacher, a
department, the whole school or educational
system. A map is geared to a school calendar.
 It provide quality control of what are taught in Curriculum
schools to maintain excellence, efficiency and
effectiveness. Mapping
• “Why is my friend’s son studying decimals in Mr.
Bernardo’s class and my own son is not studying the
same in Miss Julia’s class when they are of the same
grade level?” or
• “Why do some of my students recognize the parts of
speech while others are totally lost?”
 A map can reassure stakeholders specific information for
pacing, and alignment of the subject horizontally or vertically.
 For horizontal alignment, called
sometimes as “pacing guide” will make
all teachers, teaching the same subject in
a grade level following the same timeline
and accomplishing the same learning
Curriculum
outcomes. Mapping
 Vertical alignment, will see to it that concept
development.

 Alignment either vertical or horizontal will also develop

interdisciplinary connections among teachers and
students, between and among courses.

 CURRICULUM
MAPPING PROCESS
1. Make a matrix or a spread sheet.
2. Place a timeline that you need to cover. (one quarter, one
semester, one year). This should be dependent on time frame of
a particular curriculum that was written.
3. Enter the intended learning outcomes, skills needed to
be taught or achieved at the end of the teaching.
4. Enter in the same matrix the content
areas/subject areas to be covered.
CURRICULUM
MAPPING PROCESS
5. Align and name each resource available such as textbooks,
workbooks, module next to subject areas.
6. Enter the teaching-learning methods to be used to achieve
the outcomes.
7. Align and enter the assessment procedure and tools to
the intended learning outcomes, content areas, and
resources.
CURRICULUM
MAPPING PROCESS
8. Circulate the map among all involved personn
for their inputs.
9. Revise and refine map based on
suggestions and distribute to
all concerned.

MAPPING PROCESS
for a degree program in college
1. Make a matrix or a spreadsheet.
2. Identify the degree or program outcomes (ex. BEEd, or
BSED)
3. Identify the subjects or courses under the degree (Gen.Ed,
ProgEd, and Major for BSEd)
4. List the subjects along the vertical cells of
the matrixing logical or chronological order.

5. List the degree program outcomes along the horizontal cell
(use code as PO1, PO2...if outcomes are too long to fit in the
cell) PO means Program Outcomes.
6. Cross the Subject and the Outcome, and determine if such
subject accomplishes the outcomes as either
Learned (L), Performed (P) or given Opportunity
(O). Place the code in the corresponding cell.

7. All cells should be filled up.

8. After accomplishing the map, this will serve as a guide for
all teachers teaching the course for students to complete the
degree in four years.
 LET’S SUM IT
CURRICU L
UP! U M
MAPPING
is the indexing or diagraming a 
curriculum to identify and address
academic gaps, redundancies, and
misalignments for purposes of improving
the overall coherence of a course of
study and, by extension, its effectiveness.
