What Is A Curriculum Map?
A curriculum map is a calendar-based record of what really happens in a classroom; it is not a curriculum guide or educational philosophy
Maps are used for communication, short and long-term planning, and as a teacher training tool

TIME
If you don’t have time
To do it right –
When do you have time
To do it over?
Roger Taylor, 1996

Essential Questions

Essential Questions balance
![Page 37: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
An Essential Question Is The Heart Of The Curriculum
If your class is about to start a study of the U.S. Constitution for four weeks, as the curriculum writer you need to ask. “ What are the concepts that my students should investigate about the constitution in four weeks? What should they remember and reflect on a year from now?
![Page 38: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Essential Questions
What do you want students to remember a year from now?
![Page 39: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Essential Questions
What questions will open the door to understanding and facilitate the understanding “to stick”?
![Page 40: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
My Essential Questions are:
What is an Essential Question?
How do you write Essential Questions?
What is your school’s plan for Curriculum Mapping?
![Page 41: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Essential questions are productive for children
When a teacher or group of teachers selects a question to frame and guide a curricula design, it is a declaration of intent. This is our focus for learning.
Essential questions are an exceptional tool for clearly and precisely communicating the pivotal points of the curriculum
They act as “mental velcro”
![Page 42: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
What you design is what you get!
You are probing with your students
Traditional Question: What are the three branches of government as organized in the constitution?
Essential Question: How is the constitution the backbone structure of America?
![Page 43: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
When Designing The Curriculum:
What is the purpose of the unit?Given the amount of time we have to
work on a topic; What is essential for us to examine, explore, learn?
If you use essential questions the retention rate for kids doubles. Kids read words unless they know the essence of what they are looking for.
What you design is what you get?
THINK

What you design is what you get!
EQs spark new questions.
EQs should recur throughout the course.
EQs are interesting and provide an avenue for alternative views.
![Page 45: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What you design is what you get!
Behind any EQ a student needs to provide justification. The best EQs are arguable.
EQs transfer an idea from one setting to other settings.
![Page 46: Mapping the Big Picture Workman Middle School Escambia County School District August 13, 2007](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c9293f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Example In Practice
An assignment could be:
As you read Chapter 2, determine what you think were the major contributions of Egyptians?

About Essential Questions
A teacher structures a unit around 2-5 essential questions.
The questions are the scope and sequence of the unit.
They go to the heart of the subject’s history, arguments, and insights.
They must engage and interest the learner.
