Do we have curriculum mapping at our school? No, not yet. It is a work in progress is what I have been advised. I did do some investigative work and I found it on the district site that we as teachers have access to. I honestly got confused as again, I teach a k-3 adpts class so I cannot just follow one map. I follow numerous maps, at least that is my impression.
I have asked what the other teachers use as a guide to set up their curriculum and they have stated, their past. So, as the newbie...I am going to go out on a limb as I was given nothing when I took over room 119 in December except a key and a chance to change my students for the better! I do plan to sit down and make a map/ a plan for my classroom for next year. I plan on taking some of what my kinders should be learning in their inclusion class, some of what my first, and second graders should be learning. My third grader will continue on learning second grade until I can get her "caught up". All of this information I will bring back from gen ed and incorporate it within my centers as well as create my lesson plan topics around it. Will it be perfect, no but it will be a plan that I can work on through the year and be able to present to my principal and or other teachers if ever asked.
I hope to create a plan that I can build upon each year and one that will be successful for my students as they are why I am here. I want it to help me help them grow and succeed in school and in life.
