Curriculum mapping is Denison’s calendar-based tool to plan for curriculum and instruction. Through a collaborative process, teachers and administrators develop a picture of teaching and learning across the district. Mapping has provided the district with the opportunity to eliminate gaps and redundancies in the curriculum; to examine the curriculum for timeliness; to communicate in a common language K-12; to analyze process data; to verify alignment among content, skills, assessments, benchmarks, and standards; and to make informed decisions regarding the professional development needs of staff and the instructional needs of students.
