Customer Reviews

Good starter text.

This text would be a good starter for those that have not done curriculum work in the past. Some of it becomes tiresome because ideas are repeated, but great tips and examples are given.

A "must have"

Having heard Janet Hale speak at a curriculum mapping conference, I looked forward eagerly to the publication of A Guide to Curriculum Mapping. While I knew that it would be helpful, it far exceeded my expectations. It not only addressed my questions about curriculum mapping, but it did so in a manner that is both clear and engaging. Who would ever imagine that a book on curriculum mapping could be a page turner? Each chapter addresses a question related to curriculum mapping and includes numerous clarifying examples as well as excellent samples of quality maps. Whether you are just beginning the mapping process, wanting to affirm what you have been doing, or you are considering next steps, you will find clarification and helpful answers and suggestions. Speaking from experience, this book does not disappoint! I have already suggested it to others as a "must have."
