TRANSCRIPT
Curriculum Mapping for Instructional Leaders:
Using a Mathematics Example
Presented by: Gina W. Hopper
Purpose To introduce instructional leaders to the concept
of curriculum mapping To conceptualize how the CCSS aligns with
curriculum unit maps To learn components of mapping To understand purpose, procedures, and the basic
framework of curriculum mapping
Laying the Foundation
• Establishing a purpose for using curriculum maps
• Burrowing into the mission of CCSS• Viewing CCSS as an opportunity to modernize
the curriculum• No paper—no bidders!• CCSS are NOT curriculum…they are the content!• CCSS are meant to be scaffolded• Root word of curriculum means a path to run in
small steps
Discuss with your Elbow Partner
Curriculum• How can we design curriculum to prepare our
learners for their future?
• How can we integrate the CCSS into our local school curriculum to support student learning?
Staff• What is their background on the CCSS?
• Do you have curriculum maps?
What is curriculum mapping?
• Heidi Hayes-Jacobs defines mapping as…
o Calendar based curriculum mapping procedure for collecting and maintaining a database of the operational curriculum in a school/district.
o Provides basis for authentic examination of the database and the implemented curriculum.
o Review Robert Marzano’s Three Types of Curriculum if you want to know more about operational, intended and implemented curriculum.

How do you implement the
process?• Mapping Basics• Merging standards into curriculum maps• Developing Unit Maps• Consensus Maps (Consistency and Flexibility)• Conducting the read through across grade levels
to eliminate gaps and redundancy (Vertical alignment)
• Conversations around non-negiotables in your school/district
• Then, give them resources, a plan, and get out of their way and let teachers create.
Elements of the MapAll Maps include:• Essential questions• Big ideas• Core content• Precise skills• Terms/vocabulary• Assessments (common)===========================================Unit Maps include:• Activities• Resources

sThe base ten number system is a way to organize, represent, and compare numbers using groups of ten and place value.Patterns exhibit relationships that can be extended, described and generalized.
What does place matter when writing numbers? MP#6
To what extent is there a pattern here? MP #8
A. Place Value System• Multi-digit
numbers• Patterns in
the number of zeros of the product
• Patterns in the placement of decimals
• Whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10
B. Decimals• Decimals to
1000s• Base ten
numerals• Number
names• <, +, >
A.1 Recognize connections to 10 in place value up to millions.A.2. Explain that a number is 10 times the number to the right of the 1/10 the number to the left.A.3. Explain patterns of zeros when multiplying by 10A.4. Explain patterns in placement of decimal point when multiplying or dividing by 10A.5. Represent whole number exponentsB.1. Read aloud decimals to 1000s

get examples of what types of map might work best for your school/district.

Strategic Grouping for Professional Map
Reviews• Extended team—special
area teachers, special ed staff, ESL
• Feeder pattern—in larger districts only those sharing same students; within school following student groups
• Expanded local team—virtual groupings (online) Google docs; parents; community
• Global team—feedback and collaboration with meaningful worldwide educators and students
• Vertical—K-12; extended departmental meetings
• Targeted Vertical—examples K-1; 3-6; 7-11; 10-12
• Across grade level—all third grade; all teachers of freshman
• Targeted cross grade level—interdisciplinary 7th grade team

CCSS Mathematics Basics
• Standards are professional targets
• Math standards are abstract discipline—all theory are applied in the practical world.
• Let’s take a quick glance at CCSS on the websitehttp://www.corestandards.org/Math
CCSS Mathematics Basics
• Example: Grade 1—extremely granular compared to old standards that were vague.
• Go to Math Practices on CCSS website
DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS• Can’t just balance equation—read all information on the
screen—what is the number?-how does it function?--Show me and tell me the math.
• Larry Ainsworth’s work is very helpful in mapping units• Standards are unwrapping…what we must do is get to
translating and creating instructional units maps to the horizontal and vertical curriculum.
Using Maps to Advance Instruction
Importance of CCSS• Exciting work that enables teachers to have a
“scaffolded” approach to ensuring student success• Upgrading and modernizing maps with contemporary
assessments and the new literacies, digital, media, and global components are key to the mapping process
• Need for right now skills• E.g. Oral reports moving to podcasts• Need to use Web 2.0 tools• Creating and responding to different types of
media
