Curriculum mapping is a process used by schools to document and align the content taught, skills developed, and assessments used across grade levels and subjects. It provides a comprehensive overview of the curriculum, ensuring coherence, identifying gaps or redundancies, and promoting consistent instructional practices. This alignment helps ensure that students receive a well-sequenced and comprehensive education.
