What is a curriculum map?

Curriculum mapping is the process diagramming a curriculum to identify and address academic gaps, redundancies, and misalignments for purposes of improving the overall coherence of a content area. Curriculum mapping aims to achieve success over four goals: 

Vertical: 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: 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: Curriculum mapping for subject-area coherence aims to ensure that teachers are working toward the same learning standards in similar courses .

Interdisciplinary: Curriculum mapping for interdisciplinary coherence 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.
