Curriculum Mapping Workshop
winter quarter 2020
Purpose
This workshop is an opportunity to draft a well-informed program curriculum map that is important to developing an effective assessment plan. This workshop will provide support and guidance for developing accurate and useful program curriculum maps that can be used in specific program assessment projects.
Overview
Drafting a map provides visibility and insights into the coherence and alignment of the program's courses and their capacity to support students' success in achieving program learning outcomes. Participants will review examples of strong curriculum maps, examine the best methods for refining your program’s existing curriculum map, and practice analyzing maps for insights that can prompt curriculum improvements.
This workshop is a professional development opportunity that will not only strengthen your contributions to your program’s assessment work but also deepen your insights into the utility and benefits of well-crafted curriculum maps for a wider range of uses (e.g., course-level designs).
Logistics
This workshop will be an engaging, hands-on experience that provides time and support for recrafting and refining your own program’s curriculum map.
Who is it designed for?
Educators currently involved in program assessment reporting and planning are welcome. It will be especially valuable for those who have not benefited from prior professional development support for these responsibilities.
How is it structured?
The workshop is four hours total, comprised of two 2-hour sessions held two weeks apart. This structure is intended to provide participants with the support and time to make substantial, concrete progress on recrafting a program's curriculum map consistent with best practices and expert-derived criteria.
