Curriculum
Mapping
Ambrit
Rome International school is dedicated to delivering a challenging
and comprehensive education. As educators we believe that curriculum
development is a an ongoing process, and ensure that our program
of study is constantly reviewed and updated. In doing so, we are
able to indicate the most effective teaching methods for each
subject and ensure that our curriculum is sequential and consistent
in its goals. To assist in our planning we have purchased an on-line
mapping software called Rubicon Atlas which allows all teachers
to write, edit and browse their unit plans. It also allows administrators
to browse all plans across the school, which is an invaluable
tool in assessing our curriculum both horizontally (across grade
level) and vertically (whole school). This system allows all curriculum
documents to be stored in one place, which is not only more efficient,
but safe as it eliminates the fear of lost data files. We join
with many schools who have adopted this or similar software in
order to map their curriculum. Through this on-line system we
can share ideas with schools across the globe. Adopting this mapping
system is yet another step in ensuring that our curriculum is
world class.
