Collaborating to Map Your Program: Program-Level Curriculum Mapping
How do your students synthesize their learning across the courses and other learning experiences in your degree program? Do your students use near and far transfer to integrate their general education learning into their majors? Too frequently, students view individual courses (even individual assignments) as separate, not connected to other classes or to their goals and purposes. Mapping your program can help you and your colleagues begin to change this perception: a program-level curriculum map illustrates how student learning experiences collectively cultivate the program’s desired learning results.
Curriculum mapping, as detailed in A Guide to Curriculum Mapping: Creating a Collaborative, Transformative, and Learner-Centered Curriculum (Harrison & Williams 2024), helps you to implement best practices in teaching, learning, and assessment. In this session, faculty from Business Technology Administration and Human Centered Computing will literally walk you through their program maps; show you how their maps helped them clarify, query, and collaborate on student learning; and reflect on how to extend this discussion to students. Join us for a kinesthetic, hands-on mapping experience to create a shared vision for student learning across courses and programs. Lunch is provided.

Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in collegiate teaching and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example:
- How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design?
- How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
- How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
- How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
- Are chairs, deans, graduate program directors, or have formal leadership roles, or
- Have informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders.
