• From a departmental point of view CM will help to
  ensure that assessments are authentic and linked
  meaningfully to the skill set.

2
Eva

• CM will help us address the repeated use of
  materials (books) and topics throughout the grade
  levels.

3
Jackie

• Problem we can address with CM
• The curriculum for music has been documented for
  the purpose of documentation, but it has not bee
  followed or updated for several years.

4
George

• CM addresses the problem that teachers dont know
  what others are doing.

5
Alex Blayne

• If Atlas were properly fully implemented in our
  school, I feel it would lead to more effective
  sharing of individual teacher material (and more
  consistently) amongst grade levels.

Jackie

• Math curriculum in kindergarten could be improved
  with proper use of software. (Currently
  mis-represented)

7
Jane

• We need a map of our contexts because to achieve
  our schools mission our 54 teachers have
  fiveyears to give our students an opportunity
  to gain an enduring understanding of the 5 MYP
  areas of interaction.

8
Pearl

• We are adopting a new math curriculum this coming
  school year. One of the problems that mapping
  would facilitate is how to incorporate
  communication into our math curriculum.
  Translate gave me the idea.

9
Wendy

• Having a curriculum map would help solve the gap
  between different divisions as well as
  horizontally, vertically, and day to day planning
  effectively. Establishing collaboration and
  community.

10
Toni

• CM would be the most consistent form of planning/
  assessment/ monitoring that this school has ever
  used. For our new school, it would establish the
  planning format for a new school and obviously
  address assessment, topics of study, standards
  met, skills, etc.

11
Valerie

• It would help me pace out my year. I was rushing
  to cover things effectively because I didnt know
  my students. A map would give access to the pace
  for this level of science.

12
Jenny

• Providing all teachers with a clear picture of
  how our literacy framework and PYP scope and
  sequence are being delivered so we can revise and
  gain continuity, as well as ensure we have a
  working document.

13
Miles

• CM can bring greater coherence to 10th grade
  English program (five teachers, nine classes).

14

• CM can help the school analyse the balance in
  social studies and science throughout the primary
  school.

15
Teresa

• CM can help to link discipline curriculum (math)
  with MYP expectations, through asking the right
  essential question.

16

• CM could address the lack of integration between
  English and Portuguese Curriculum. Right now
  there are no links.

17
Rosemary

• CM would overcome the problem of some teachers
  missing out on teaching certain skills needed or
  exploring appropriate forms of assessment.

18
Jeff

• Edit for gaps and repetitions.

19
Vicky

• At 1B level students do different subjects but
  within each group they need/should have the same
  opportunities to develop the same skills- CM
  would ensure this was happening.

20
Alison

• It would overcome the problems resulting from
  teachers teaching the text rather than teaching
  to answer essential questions and teaching skills.

21
Juliet

• CM can allow the teacher to slot in
  skills/modifications/ vocabulary/ grammatical
  structures needed to achieve success with each
  unit for ESOL/LD learners. It eliminates
  overlaps allows for horizontal integration with
  cross-curricular projects.

22
Antonella

• CM will inform me of what my grade 2 students had
  covered the previous year. It will help me
  understand what I need to extend/build on from
  the skills in grade 1 and not repeat the same
  content and skills. If properly documentedd, I
  should be able to know where to go next.

23
Lynn

• Communication between grades would alleviate work
  being duplicated or there being holes. The
  curriculum would flow vertically.

24
Jinggay

• Facilitate review and revisions, supports
  planning time for teachers.

25
Becky

• CM would addresses of the ESL students being
  included in the classroom. The ESL teacher would
  be more aware of the needs of her student when
  she can look at the map and see the work that is
  done in the classroom.

26
Elizabeth

• Giving support to special needs students is
  supported by CM. It allows for communication
  between classroom teacher and learner
  support/speech therapist/ OT.
