What is a curriculum design?
 A curriculum design is reflected in a written curriculum
either as a lesson plan,syllabus,unit plan or a bigger
curriculum like K to12.
 Before a teacher shall put this plan or design into action,
heshe must need to do a curriculum map.
 Have you ever wondered how to pace your lesson so that it
will cover a period of time like
hours,weeks,quarters,semester or the whole year?
 This lesson will teach you an important process and tool
which is curriculum mapping and curriculum maps.
CURRICULUM MAPPING
 Curriculum mapping is a process or procedure that
follows curriculum designing. Curriculum mapping
can be done by teachers alone, a group of
teachers teaching the same subject ,the
department,the whole school or district or the
whole educational system.
 Furthermore,mapping will produce a curriculum
map which is very functional tool in teaching
math in the primary grades.
Curriculum Mapping
process
 CURRICULUM MAPS
 Are visual timelines that outline desired learning
outcomes to be achieved,contents,skills and values
taught,instructional time,assessment to be used, and the
overall student movement towards the attainment of the
intended outcomes.
 A curriculum map provides quality control of what are
taught in school to maintain excellence,efficiency and
effectiveness. It is intended to improve instruction and
maintain quality of education that all stakeholders need
to be assured.
Curriculum Mapping process

There are many ways of doing things

according to what outcome one need’s
to produce. This is also true with
curriculum mapping. However
whatever outcome (map) will be
made, there are suggested steps to
follow.
Steps to follow in curriculum mapping:
 Make a Matrix or a spreadsheet.
 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.
 Enter the intended learning outcomes,skills,needed to be
taught or achieved at the end of the teaching.
 Enter in the same matrix the content areas/subject areas
to be covered.
 Align and name each resource available such as
textbooks,workbooks,module next to subject areas.
 Enter the teaching and learning ,methods to be used to
achieved the outcomes.
 Align and enter the assessment procedure and
tools to the intended learning outcomes, content
areas and resources.
 Circulate the map among all involved personnel
for their inputs.
 Revised and refined map based on suggestions and
distribute to all concerned.
Sample Curriculum Map
 By three activity: Designing a Curriculum Map

 Choose 20 competency in every

quarter of the Curriculum Guide
in Math from Grade 1-Grade-3.
Design a curriculum map. There
will be a presentation(randomly)
of curriculum map on October
21,2022(Tuesday). Each group
must provide a softcopy/
hardcopy of the curriculum map
and submit it to the subject
instructor as one of the
requirement in the final period.
Your curriculum map will be
graded by the following:
ASSIGNMENT: Make a wise decision. Show me that you
understood the lesson by answering the questions:

 Does Curriculum Mapping help a teacher understand what

to accomplish within the period of time? Why?
 Is a curriculum map a permanent document? Why?
 Can a curriculum map help explain to parents what their
children are learning in school? In what way?
 Can a curriculum map as a tool be used in instructional
supervision? In what way?
 As a future teacher, how will a process of mapping and the
map as a tool help you in your profession?
