ADOPTING A GROWTH MINDSET
As with any new initiative, mindset plays an important role.
Are you willing to:
- take a risk?
- confront a new challenge?
- stretch yourself to learn something new?
- develop something inside of you?
- realize there’s room to improve and grow?
- find success in learning and improving?
- create an environment of change?
BRIDGING THE GAP 
It’s not uncommon for teachers to feel like they’re on their own. Building a bridge to connect teachers is critical. Curriculum mapping can be that bridge!
Are you ready to:
- connect with colleagues?
- talk about what’s happening in the classroom?
- listen to each other?
- grow and learn from each other?
- learn the process of documenting real-time curriculum together?
- begin taking note of curriculum content in other grade levels?
- collaborate with teachers in your school to deepen student learning?
- connect with other teachers from schools around the district/synod?
PROCESS, NOT PRODUCT 
Building a bridge takes time, requires a plan, and much collaboration. Once built, engineers must continually return to the structure to ensure quality and strength. Building a curriculum map takes on a similar journey.
Are you ready to:
- view curriculum mapping as a process rather than a product?
- realize curriculum mapping is far more than an item checked off a to-do list?
- take on the mapping process one small step at a time, rather than one big assignment?
- work together as a team to come up with a mapping plan that fits your faculty?
- review mapping work with your team to ensure quality?
