Curricular Mapping in Progress

This first curricular map was harder than I thought it would be. I think the worst part was knowing how busy I was and how hard I worked and trying to transfer that into the map.  Additionally, I  know that this will need to be revised to adapt to the upcoming schedule but also to hopefully be more reflective of the Lower School 21st Century Mission Statement still in progress. Now that I have an idea of a form, I also feel a renewed sense of purpose.  One thing about working through the process of articulating curriculum is you become both more reflective and excited about possibilities.  Hopefully, when this is finished I will be able to sit with teacher and review what we have done and why and what makes sense for the future.
However, I do still see this as an evolution. I am finding more validity in the process of curriculum mapping everyday and I feel that as a school we could really make this a dynamic and worthwhile process.
