Rockford Public Schools Curriculum Map
Link: http://www.rockfordschools.org/?i=curriculum9-12curriculummaps
Rather than link to a site that illustrates how to make a curriculum map, I thought it might be beneficial to look at an actual curriculum map. The Rockford Public Schools have not only posted their district-wide map on-line, but have a detailed explanation of how to read the map as well. A quick look at one entry on the map indicates that the Rockford map, while comprehensive, does not include much in the way of actual classroom activities. Rather, the map seems to be an elaboration of the state standards that illustrates the specific content areas that will be studied in order to meet the skills required by the state standards. Overall, this is an interesting site, but my guess is that it's usefulness is more for public relations than for actual educational benefit, as the content is too vague to yield any clear conclusions about the activities in the classroom.
