The Curriculum Mapping KnowledgeBase : Element 1 : Activity 2 : Task 2: Communicate the Vision to Others
How well the vision is communicated may determine how strongly it is embraced by others. Communicating the vision involves identifying the target audience, matching the message content to each group, determining the communication modes, and executing the strategy. When launching curriculum mapping, district and school leaders need to be cognizant of how their message fits with their instructional vision.
This excerpt from "Failure Is Not an Option: Six Principles that Guide Student Achievement in High-Performing Schools" explores building leadership capacity within schools. As curriuclum mapping is an ongoing process, it is important to address the sustainability of teacher leader participation in the process.
This resource provides questions a district and its schools should address when implementing curriculum mapping. The graphic illustrates those elements necessary to achieve sustainable change. The material has been extracted from Janet Hale's presentation "Mapping the Curriculum: Curriculum Mapping Intra-Organizations and Action Plans," slide 36.
