 Curriculum Mapping Project Based Learning Unit Basics
__Philosophy of Curriculum Mappers __  We are committed to assisting schools and educational leaders to affect change in the new technical educational arena. We understand how technology might facilitate teacher curriculum management to allow them more time in the classroom, and how the use of technology can bring vital information into the hands of all curriculum decisions makers. We agree that students are our precious resource for future global leadership. Curriculum Mapping tools enable teachers to organize, communicate and disseminate information as a solution to managing curriculum and sharing instructional best practices across grades, subjects, schools, and cultures.
