Integrated Curriculum Maps

How to Read the Curriculum Maps

Each curriculum map is organized with the same components: Essential Question, Transferable Skill Priority Performance Indicator, Content Priority Performance Indicator, IRIS Priority Performance Indicator, Summative Assessment, and Unit Content Topics. The maps are designed for adaptation and personalization for your own community context, which is why you will see the summative assessment spaces blank.

Our goal was not to create a curriculum to be wholesale adopted, but a curriculum to inspire reflection on how to weave together some of the guiding documents used across Vermont while centering educational equity from the beginning of the curricular design process.

What to Look Out For

The Elementary Curriculum Maps are specially designed to align the Transferable Skills and IRIS standards across content areas and grade levels. Each grade/course level’s map has a model unit overview linked within the map. Some unit overviews also include a comprehensive unit plan, which has been developed by Vermont educators and will be identified with an asterisk (*).
