What we’re going to do: Overview of curriculum mapping Provide some examples (thanks Stacie & Mike!) Q & A Workshop: your program’s map
“An English Department I once worked with agreed on 4 program-level learning outcomes, one of which was research in the discipline of English literature. They then realized that the one course that taught research methods was a senior-level course. They wanted to add more study of research methods into the curriculum, so they decided to add a brand-new sophomore level course on introduction to the study of literature. This major overhaul came from… articulating clear common learning outcomes and making sure the curriculum is aligned with these goals… the process has led to significant improvements.”
--Linda Suskie, 2008
Curriculum Mapping… --ensures that learning outcomes are supported in coordinated ways across courses and learning experiences --provides a visual representation of the progression of learning opportunities that contribute to achievement
1st question to ask: What do we want our students to be able to do and know when they finish our program? (What are your program learning outcomes?)
2nd question to ask:
Does our course sequence appropriately support students so that they can achieve
these goals? (Curriculum Map)
Example:
Teacher Ed Program Learning Outcome: SWBAT: to implement effective instruction in a K-12 classroom
How do we know our students are
achieving this outcome?

In addition to creating a curriculum map, we also created a common artifact and
rubric to be used to assess that one program learning outcome:
1. Artifact: Lesson plan 2. Tool to assess artifact: Rubric

CAPSTONE PAPER
Keys to Effective Curriculum Mapping:
• Involve all faculty teaching in the program • Survey faculty with respect to their coverage of
program learning outcomes • Share information with all faculty for review &
discussion • Reach consensus regarding the extent to which
the program is addressing outcomes adequately and develop strategies for change as necessary
