Curriculum Planning

Curriculm - Criteria Mapping Process

Curriculum Map Docs for our professional development work:

Checks on Your Curriculum:

  • Have you identified key standards / assessments in the frameworks and documented them in the Curriculum Map?

  • Have these key assessments made it into your exhibition projects?

  • Are there revisions that need to be made to your Map? Why did you make these changes?

Tips:

  • Don't list content as Chapter 1 or Objective 2.5 because readers of the map will have no idea of the concepts taught.

  • Do use verbs to describe skills and nouns to identify types of assessment

  • Do enter information as you go, it is meant to be a living document

  • Don't procrastinate. The longer you wait, the harder it will get
