Mapping Best Practices: A Guide to Curriculum Mapping Book Discussion
Join us to discuss how A Guide to Curriculum Mapping: Creating a Collaborative, Transformative, and Learner-Centered Curriculum (Harrison & Williams 2024) synthesizes teaching, learning, and assessment best practices. In addition to demonstrating how mapping integrates fundamental learner-centered best practices like transparency, scaffolding, alignment, deliberate practice, and learning transfer, the guide shows how you can use the templates to map and measure ongoing and new initiatives, like high-impact practices, co-curricular learning, or specific pedagogies, and analyze the learning data to identify further improvements.
While our companion in-person experience literally walks you through the basics of mapping your curriculum, this online discussion invites you to delve into how curriculum mapping engages research-based best practices. We’ll focus our discussion on Chapter 2: Navigating Research-Based Best Practices with Curriculum Mapping. pp. 21-54; Chapter 1 offers a preview of the best practices discussed.

Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in collegiate teaching and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example:
- How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design?
- How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
- How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
- How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
- Are chairs, deans, graduate program directors, or have formal leadership roles, or
- Have informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders.
