| Abstract |
Building on ASCD's resources on curriculum mapping, this DVD helps you and your school or district successfully implement comprehensive curriculum mapping. Use the DVD with the workshop outlines in the Facilitator's Guide to show how quality maps are developed and used to improve the quality of education for every student. Video scenes take you to mapping efforts that are underway in an entire district and a single school. Hear curriculum mapping expert Heidi Hayes Jacobs explain the best reasons for systemwide mapping and the importance of clarity and flexibility in curriculum planning. And see how dedicated teams of educators -from district leaders to classroom teachers -create and use maps to standardize curriculum, align teaching to learning objectives, familiarize new staff members with curriculum, and ultimately raise achievement. Detailed workshop outlines -with activities, handouts, overheads, and readings -make it easy for you to run an effective meeting that supports curriculum mapping. |
