explored your options you should be ready to make
some career decisions. The question now is how
you will decide.

education. You should also continue to evaluate
your options and make adjustments as needed.

Abstraction Curriculum Mapping

Is a process or procedure that follow curriculum designing.
It is done before the curriculum implementation of the
written curriculum.
This process was introduced by Heidi Hayes Jacobs in 2004
in her book Getting Results in Curriculum Mapping.
is the process of indexing, or diagraming a curriculum to
identify academic gaps, redundancies, and misalignments
for purposes of improving the overall coherence of a
course of study and, by extension, its effectiveness.
a way to ensure that there is congruence among the
written, taught, and tested subject matter, courses and
content areas.
a procedure for creating a culture of continuous learning
and improvement of student achievement

Curriculum Mapping Process

1. Make a matrix or a spreadsheet
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
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
8. Circulate the map among all involved personnel for their
inputs
9. Revise and refine map based on suggestions and
distribute to all concernedaching and Learning Methods

Curriculum Maps
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
Curriculum maps may be 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
Curriculum maps provide quality control of what are
taught in schools to maintain excellence, efficiency and
effectiveness. It is intended to improve instruction and
maintain quality of education that all stakeholder need
to be assured

Purpose of Curriculum Map

allows educators to review the curriculum to check for
unnecessary redundancies, inconsistencies,
misalignments, weaknesses, and gaps;
documents the relationships between the required
 3

components of the curriculum and the intended student

learning outcomes;
helps identify opportunities for integration among
disciplines;
provides a review of assessment methods; and
identifies what students have learned, allowing
educators to focus on building on previous knowledge
Curriculum Mapping Goals
Vertical Coherence
Curriculum mapping aims to ensure that teaching is
purposefully structured and logically sequenced across
grade levels so that students are building on what they
have previous learned and learning the knowledge and
skills that will progressively prepare them for more
challenging, higher-level work.

Horizontal Coherence
Curriculum mapping aims to ensure that the
assessments, tests, and other methods teachers use to
evaluate learning achievement and progress are based
on what has actually been taught to students and on the
learning standards that the students are expected to
meet in a particular course, subject area, or grade level.
Subject-area Coherence
Curriculum mapping aims to ensure that teachers are
working toward the same learning standards in similar
courses and that students are also learning the same
amount of content, and receiving the same quality of
instruction, across subject-area courses
Interdisciplinary Coherence
Curriculum mapping may focus on skills and work habits
that students need to succeed in any academic course
or discipline, such as reading skills, writing skills,
technology skills, and critical-thinking skills.

Practice Application Showing some samples of Curriculum Maps and let the
students analyze and understand its content and identify its
purpose and importance.
