Assessment Description
Teachers need a foundation for what to teach during a school year. The content of what to teach should be viable and guaranteed, based on the general learning levels of students in a grade level or subject matter. Curriculum writers start with the end in mind and build backwards based on standards and district requirements.
Create a visual representation to help teachers understand the difference between a curriculum map, pacing guide, and lesson plan. Your representation could be a matrix, Venn diagram, graphic organizer, etc. and may be completed using a digital platform. In your visual, define the features of a curriculum map, pacing guide, and lesson plan. Differentiate between each, including the application to student achievement and teacher practices.
What are each (curriculum map, pacing guide, and lesson plan) used for, both independently and with one another.
- Who is responsible for their creation and who uses them?
- How are design theories (Understanding by Design, backward design, and inquiry-based learning specifically) addressed in each?
