The
following K-12 curricula mapping efforts, represent the initial
phase of an ongoing curricula alignment project in the subject areas
of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
These efforts have been, and continue to be, driven by the New York
State Standards, subject areas course revisions and revised examination
formats. In addition, faculty understanding of major themes and
concepts encourages effective content pacing and in-depth coverage
of appropriate thematic issues.
Faculty awareness of appropriate
curricula maps heightens their ability to effectively communicate
the major themes, concepts and skills to their student population.
Faculty awareness translates to increased student's time on task,
which results in their in-depth understanding and ability to meet
the challenges of the revised standards and assessments. Another
benefit of the mapping process is its ability to encourage faculty
created interdisciplinary approaches. This practice encourages student
skill development and content area understandings while maximizing
instructional time.
The
second phase of the district's curricula mapping efforts will be
the utilization of mapping software. The software builds upon the
initial phase to provide ongoing curricula alignment and evaluative
assessments, based upon the specific subject areas' national and
state standards.
