This lively new instructional resource offers teachers a cohesive and accessible guide to curriculum mapping for the primary classroom.
From curriculum mapping, the authors guide teachers through:
• Use of standards and rubrics for the development of interdisciplinary units and lessons
• Analysis of students' learning styles and needs
• Development of differentiated content, process, products, and homework
The authors' teacher-friendly framework for blending curriculum mapping with differentiated instruction ensures a student-centered classroom, and their "Teachers' Tool Chests" offer planning templates and task cards for the sample lessons and units in the book.
