The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, in partnership with the Governor's Readiness Centers, has developed a new series on curriculum mapping as a core tool for communicating about and aligning curriculum and instruction across grades, subject areas, and schools. During the first year of the series, which included an introductory webinar, six subject-based webinars, and four 2-day summer institutes across the state, participants discussed the status of curriculum mapping in their districts, gained access to sample models and other support resources, and used guided planning time to take their curriculum planning to the next level. In the second year of the project, we shared curriculum map examples and resources from school districts around the Commonwealth during a Showcase Event in Sturbridge.
