During the 2000-2001 school year all teachers will map. All teachers in self-contained classrooms will map math, science, and social studies. Teachers in departmentalized settings will map the subjects they teach. Support teachers in the elementary and middle school will map the highest three grades this year. Teachers with more than three preparations will give priority to math, science, and social studies.
Teachers record real data from their plan book onto a template on the computer.
Teachers will read a variety of maps from various grade levels and subject areas to gain information, find gaps, redundancies, areas of integration, and streamline the curriculum. Teachers will meet in small groups to discuss, share, and record findings. Site Council will review consensus maps, address redundancies, and negotiate the placement of skills and content. Review Cycle should be active and ongoing. Teachers will use their plan book from the previous year to record what was actually taught.
