CurriculumTrak

CurriculumTrak is a powerful online tool that simplifies the mapping process. CurriculumTrak is the easiest way to create and edit your own curriculum maps and unit plans while searching and referencing the maps from your entire school as well as other schools throughout North America.

State-of-the-art analysis tools allow you to create valuable reports that form the basis for curricular decision-making. Moreover, you can incorporate state or local standards directly into your units to see where, how often, and how deeply these standards are addressed in each classroom.

COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM DATABASE

Most curriculum purists would agree that school benchmarks or standards must be the foundation of instruction. With CurriculumTrak, you will be able to work off your state standards, upload your own school benchmarks, benefit from other schools' benchmarks or create a hybrid of these. Once your school benchmarks have been established, you will be able to attach them to courses and/or grade levels to easily identify any gaps or overlaps that might exist in your curriculum. By working with a consortium of schools in the development of CurriculumTrak, this system has adopted many useful reports that Curriculum & Instruction personnel will find extremely valuable. While many schools have their curriculum mapped out on paper or in Microsoft Word, the key is to get this data in an organized database. Then, you will be able to manipulate the data to easily give you a big picture of your curriculum or focus on a desired benchmark.

UNIT PLANNING TOOLS

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that no two school schools have the same unit plan template. However, it is apparent that no single template will ever meet the needs of all schools. Therefore, CurriculumTrak provides an easy-to-use utility that will allow your curriculum administrators to "build" their own unit plan template. Each school will be able to incorporate their own terminology, include as few or as many fields of data as desired and dictate what should be pre-filled and what should be unique for each teacher. These tools will help you create a unit that will identify the desired results, determine acceptable evidence and aid in planning learning experiences and instruction. With these tools you can attach a unit to any number of school benchmarks and can easily create inter-disciplinary units. Best of all, staff members can assess student understanding using these powerful tools.
