To Map or not to Map, That is the Question...

Ok, so it is January 16,2011 and since making this my New Year's Resolution this is the second post - in regards to my typical resolution, I've actually lost more weight than I've blogged!! CSQRD minus 5 pounds!
So I'm preparing my syllabus for the class I am teaching for Bloomsburg - Curriculum Theory and Design. I was set months ago to use Heidi Hayes Jacobs "21st Century Curriculum", hands down, no questions asked, totally decided...and then! You knew that was coming, didnt you?
Well, now I'm conflicted between HHJ and Kallick&Colosimo's"Using Curriculum and Assessment Data to Improve Student Learning". Problem is, I have to design before Tuesday:(
There are so many angles that would benefit this class and yet, I want for it to be applicable and accessible to the teachers taking the class...
I will keep you posted!
