Curriculum Mapping

Curriculum mapping is the process of ensuring that what is taught corresponds to the expected learning standards. In longer terms, it is a process that ensures that there are no gaps or redundancies in what is taught and that a course covers in a thorough and systematic way the corresponding learning objectives. Curriculum mapping usually involves allocating instructional time to the various topics to be taught, often in proportion to the topics’ relative weight on standardized exams.

Curriculum mapping is used not only to align the content of a course to a set of standards, but also to ensure consistency in teaching from one grade to another, in multiple classrooms teaching the same grade-level subject, and to maximize the extent to which the curriculum in one course reinforces the curriculum in another. The latter aspect of curriculum mapping is particularly useful for ESL teachers who are striving to teach content (especially vocabulary) that their students will use in content classes.

The term “curriculum calibration” is also used to describe the process of aligning curriculum to standardized learning objectives.
