WHY Curriculum Mapping?
- One of the great collaborative aspects of the MISIC Curriculum Manager Software [and of the whole curriculum mapping process] is that teachers can share the workload of developing, teaching and SHARING quality instructional units, resources and techniques. Teachers can develop lessons and then with a few clicks can share or search for created lessons or units to add to their map. This will require a paradigm shift in thinking about classrooms not being closed boxes but open fountains of sharing.
