Goal:
To produce an overview of student learning experiences and showing a relationship between CMS standards and content/skills that are taught and assessed within the organizational framework of the school calendar.

Purpose:

• To provide a tool that analyzes how standards are implemented and assessed
• To provide information related to scope and sequence
• To reveal opportunities for integration of various contents and essential skills

Examples of CMS Curriculum Mapping Guidelines:

• Only one map is developed for each course.
• Review standards to determine which need to be identified in the essential skills section.
• Include research standards
• Record standards and benchmarks on the content map
• The map is written in a matter that is easily understood by any teacher new to CMS or colleague that does not teach the particular content of that map.
