Curriculum mapping is a way for schools to monitor its curricula in all areas of a subject. In math, those teaching,for instance, Geometry, should all be on the same page. It should also have students that have learned the same areas of Pre-Geometry prior to them getting into this subject. The flow through the subject areas will be easier.
In my situation, mapping is not coming easy. Special Ed in my school is still treated as the bastard step child. We do not even have the same text books, or have access to the same materials as regular ed. The reasons are too numerous to mention, and yes, its not fair.
They talk about scores, and HSPA, but they do very little to help. It would be great to bring the two departments together, on the same page, and hopefully, assist each each other.
Curriculum mapping is a way to bring success to a school district. It is not easy to implement, but as with all other successful programs, it will take alot of work. We have to remember, it is for the benefit of the students, all egos aside.
