Do you utilize the instructional wiki as a curriculum map? Or another form of curriculum pacing? If so,
1 what other form do you use?
job alike meetings, student needs
2 map, but very flexible...
3 I use the instructional wiki.

4 No, I use the pacing guide set up by our Middle School Math Instructional Coach.
5 I do not use it since I teach Sped students I pace their curriculum pacing on their needs according to their IEP.

How often do you use the map? (daily, 2-3 times/week, weekly, monthly, less than
1 monthly)
2 less than monthly
3 Weekly

4 At least weekly, sometimes more.

5 I do not use it, I use the child's IEP and testing as my guide to what they need

D
1 Has this amount changed since you started teaching? How has it changed, and why?
2 yes, gotten to know the scope / sequence abit better
3 I used it more last year with the addition of Accelerated SS.

Yes. I refer to it more and more. I used to just follow the book, but the pacing guide helps me stay on track 4 timewise.
I use the childs IEP goal and testing as the base and then map it out for the year. We work on a quarter at a time
5 and then look at their goals to make sure we are covering them.

In what ways does the map impact your teaching (What do you use most?) (resources, pacing guide,
1 standards, assessments, other) And if you don't use anything, how do you map or follow your own

be appropriate for them but the resources help me to find some that would work and are close to what they would

1 What is something that you wish the map included, or didn't include?
2 resources....for subject/unit matter
3 nothing

4 Nothing else.

I would think that more alternative options would be good. It is often hard to find what you need for a special needs
5 child.

Do you feel that having a guide or map is something that you need to be a better teacher? Could you or
1 would you want to teach without it?

feel thatneed/use
it is a great
GUIDE in staying on track and making the most use of my time & resources. It also keeps
me informed as to the standards being covered - how much/how long, duplicated, etc.
4 I would rather not teach without it. It has become more useful the more I teach!

I feel that a guide is really helpful and also gives me other options to use to work with the child. I have taught with
5 and without it and it does help you keep better track of what I need to do and what I have covered.
