Curriculum Mapping for Development and Curriculum Design

Our approach to Curriculum Mapping and Design is front end planning:

  • to build in accountabilities upfront that each teacher needs to address i.e national, state, system and school level agendas
  • ensure new agendas/requirements are NOT seen as just "add ons" but are integrated into planning in a considered way.
  • to open up the classroom teacher's perspective to the bigger picture of curriculum and student requirements and to support "whole school" consistent explicit teaching of skills and key capabilities and authentic assessment and reporting to standards.

Schools juggle many complex agendas often without knowing HOW to fit the Jigsaw together. Our processes are designed for Australian schools and Australian curriculum and develop aligned curriculum which supports improved student outcomes

The world for teachers and schools for the past few years Our Curriculum Mapping process and software enable teachers to go from picture on the left to the picture below

An aligned pathway with explicit links between each step is the focus of our front end curriculum mapping:

Why should you do "front end Curriculum Mapping"?

  • Target "consistent explicit teaching" to address gaps in student performance.
  • Align the parts of the curriculum jigsaw to support whole school curriculum planning
  • Develop aligned and compliant programming documentation and build in accountability checks.
  • Bring the initiatives of the past 10 years or so together, for example thinking skills and learning styles.
  • Set up a process for auditing your current curriculum without a laborious paper chase though piles of documents
