Ed. Research and Theories > Bilingual and ESL research jgordon Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:05:13 GMT http://shop.ascd.org/productdisplay.cfm?productid=197135 Teachers have always used the school calendar to plan instruction. Using a standard word-processing program, they can now collect real-time information about what is actually taught to create "curriculum maps." These maps provide a clear picture of what is happening in their classes at specific points during the school year. The benefits of this kind of mapping are obvious for integrating curriculum: When curriculum maps are developed for every grade level, educators see not only the details of each map but also the "big picture" for that school or district. They can see where subjects already come together--and where they don't, but probably should.

The report points to major obstacles faced by minorities in the "teacher preparation pipeline" from high school into the teaching profession, and provides useful examples of effective supports that can motivate and prepare minorities to succeed in high school, college, and the classroom. This is a useful resource for both educators and researchers, with rich examples of effective programs and practices, and an extensive bibliography.
