Curriculum Mapping

The Purpose of Curriculum Mapping is to make sure the teachers are all on the same page, and teaching the same content. It also produces a team approach for the staff members forcing them to collaborate. Bloomfield Does not map its curriculum, but I would say the PE department does collaborate and teach the same ideas to a certain extent. We are not required to do curriculum mapping, yet we have meetings with each other and team teach.we have a fitness day twice a week where the PE teacher and all the classes do the same fitness workout. We have an idea what teachers are teaching in each gym based on the space they have. I believe curriculum mapping keeps up with the new trends for our students. If teachers want to help their kids, they must keep up with what is out there and what seems to be working.
