Campbellsville High School shared this exemplary World Civilizations curriculum map and description below.
Campbellsville High School
World Civilizations Curriculum Map
Based on CATS information and other assessment data, we identified gaps in our curriculum. Teachers independently identified taught curriculum then worked in groups to assess grade level curriculum. Next, all subject area teachers in one school met to finalize curriculum. The next step will be to work district wide. We will do this on PD days and early release days. We will be continuing these steps in other subjects during 2004-2005. This is a never-ending process. It will need to be modified each year as we learn about mistakes and successes.
For more information about this map, please contact Beverly Ennis at Campbellsville Independent Schools.
