Task 2: Identify the Revision Points

Guideline: The Oklahoma State Department of Education's Process of Curriculum Mapping outline lists five aspects of identifying revision points. They are

"highlight areas of inconsistency within and across grade levels,
note areas for possible revision in the curriculum,
focus on horizontal and vertical articulation of concepts,
identify common areas of concern and look for ways to eliminate or minimize their impact, and
identify gaps and overlaps."

Together, they provide a focus for reviewing maps.
