Impact on Student Learning

The impact that a curriculum map would have on a student's learning is not seen directly. In fact, the student may not even be aware of the map at all. The curriculum map will impact the student by forcing his or her teacher to be very cognizant of everything that is being taught and how. The teacher has to complete a task analysis of the standards to discover what needs to be taught in order for the student to reach the desired end result. The students are going to be taught better because the teacher will be reviewing what has worked successfully for a subject and making any necessary alterations. The students just get the benefit of knowing that their teacher is going to be working at helping them to know the most important aspects of the content and will be teaching them broader concepts, which will lead to more knowledge.
