4. Introduction
Curriculum is the expectations for what will be taught and
what students will do in a program of study. It includes
teacher made materials, textbooks and national and state
standards.
A curriculum design is reflected in a written curriculum
either as a lesson plan, syllabus, unit plan or bigger
curriculum like K-12. Before a teacher shall put this plan or
design into action, one must need to do a curriculum map.

7. Some curricuralist would describe curriculum mapping as making a map to
success. There are common questions that are asked by different stakeholders,
like teachers, colleagues, parents, school officials, and the community as well.
These questions may include:
1. What do my students learn? (KNOWLEDGE)
2. What do they study in the first quarter? (TOPICS)
3. What are they studying in school throughout the year?
(SUBJECTS/COURSES)
4. Do my co-teachers who handle the same subject, cover the same content?
Achieve the same outcomes? Use similar strategies? (ALIGNMENT)
5. How do I help my students understand the connections between my subjects
and other subjects within the year? Next year? (INTEGRATION)
Furthermore, mapping will produce curriculum map, which is a very functional
tool in curriculum development.
