Curriculum Services
September 27, 2006
Curriculum mapping and alignment are effective tools for improving teaching and learning. Mapping support can be individualized for each district--the goal is to take your curriculum from where you are at to where you want to be. This can include beginning the process from the very first steps to moving into more advanced diagnostic stages of curriculum development using data to drive instruction. The focus is on aligning curriculum to state standards and using curriculum maps to eliminate gaps and redundancies in the curriculum. Service Center staff can work with your district to develop a plan for aligning your district curriculum. Fore more information contact Darla Smith, (785) 825-9185, dsmith@smokyhill.org
