Mapping software
A number of educators and educational enterprises have been developing software which facilitates computer- and network-based curriculum mapping. We will add resources as more and more come online.
ALL OF THE PROGRAMS we list are reputable. Just as we recommend various books and resources, we list various technology groups, leaving it to the professionals at a school to determine what will work best for them. Clearly many schools develop their own program independently.
Atlas Curriculum Management System
Atlas is a Web application designed to electronically encompass the process of curriculum mapping to facilitate collaboration among teachers across subjects, grades and schools. Its extensions go beyond just recording and reporting, to the sharing of curriculum strategies with administrators, superintendents, boards of trustees and parents. Rubicon personnel are noted for being skilled at listening to the needs of their clients. Armed with the most current and enhanced curriculum data, educators and administrators alike are empowered to advance and improve the learning experience of all their students on a continuum.

The Curriculum Mapper™
Collaborative Learning, Inc.’s Curriculum Mapper® was the first web-based mapping system. Developed by a classroom teacher/administrator, the product allows teachers to easily input curricular data and attach lesson plans, rubrics, etc. to their maps. Curriculum Mapper reports what students have been taught, while WebGrader®, an online grade book and report card generator, finishes the story by communicating what the students have learned. This data can be accessed before high stakes tests are taken so gaps and redundancies can be addressed. Both products link to easily accessed standards and are supported by Professional Learning Associates™, a professional development group that works exclusively with curriculum mapping and standards-based assessment.
