Curriculum Mapping

Designing Authentic Performance Tasks

To what extent do we have a coherent curriculum…from the learner’s perspective?

WHY?
"...the standards must address the problem of a curriculum that is a mile wide and an inch deep..."

“…That is, what and how students are taught
should reflect not only the topics that fall
within a certain academic discipline, but also
the key ideas that determine how knowledge is
organized and generated within that discipline.
This implies that ‘to be coherent,’ a set of
content standards must evolve from particulars
… to deeper structures inherent in the
discipline.”
CC Mathematics Standards, p. 2

“Students will be able to
independently use their
learning to…”
An effective curriculum equips learners
for autonomous performance
…by design!
