POCKET PROGRAM MAP
The basic elements of The Mapping Primer are uniquely captured in a brief pocket sized map facilitating quick reference during curriculum mapping sessions.
The Pocket Program Map shows the mapping conventions on one side and a sample of a program level map on the other, in an 11"x17" format folded down to pocket size.
Priced low so that you can provide a copy to all faculty—getting everyone into the conversation about outcomes and mapping.

THE MAPPING PRIMER:
Tools for Reconstructing the College Curriculum
by Ruth Stiehl with Les Lewchuk
Our purpose in writing The OUTCOMES Primer was to help reduce the confusion around the concept of “learning outcomes.” That done, in The MAPPING Primer we present three powerful tools to engage faculty in the whole conversation about learning outcomes and assessment. It’s the book that will move your college forward.
Developed for curriculum leaders and facilitators, these tools draw faculty (reluctant or not) into re-thinking what they do in their classrooms. Using Post-it™ Notes, butcher paper, visual templates and even crayons, faculty make connections between classroom experiences, assessment and intended outcomes.
Full of illustrative stories and over 80 color graphics, The MAPPING Primer is an indispensable guide for college curriculum leaders.
