Aligning the Curriculum for Improved Student Performance

Catalog description

This course provides a structured opportunity for P-12 educators to expand their knowledge and experiential base with respect to mapping state academic standards by grade level, content area, or across a school district (e.g., consensus mapping). Candidates will complete a field project that involves the planning, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum maps that contribute to the P-12 educator's ability to diagnose student learning. Candidates will use formative assessment tools in conjunction with curriculum maps to align instruction for P-12 learning. Candidates will design classroom implementation plans to support differentiated instruction.
