  3. What is a Curriculum Map? • It is a method for depicting the alignment between a program’s curriculum and the learning outcomes of the program • That is, it’s a visual representation of what you do in your program to foster desired knowledge, skills, and values

  4. Creating Maps • Start with blank table that has learning outcomes along the vertical axis and courses or experiences horizontally across the top • Three levels: • Basic – Is an outcome addressed in a given course or experience? • Intermediate – At what level is an outcome addressed? • Advanced – How is an outcome addressed (e.g., content, pedagogy, assignments)?
