. When students are taught the standards starting from the curriculum map, and using the pacing guides as a guide to drive lesson planning while incorporating backwards design, students will then be able to successfully learn the concepts.

Teachers practices of curriculum maps will guide teachers what and where they need to start their instruction. By applying, learning and using the curriculum map, teachers can determine what standards students will be taught throughout the year.

Pacing guides

The appliation of pacing guides for student achievement is based on the teacher and her knowledge of how to read and understand the pacing guide. Students are successful with the content that is being taught as long as what is being taught is within the pacing guide and aligned to the standards during that time.
Teachers pracatices of the pacing guide informs not only the teachers, but also the students in what they need to learn and be taught during a certain amount of time. When a teacher effectively practices and implements the pacing guide into their lesson planning, students are successful.

The application of lesson plans for student achievement is higher than pacing guides and curriculum maps. Students achievements are going to be higher when the lesson plans are rigiorious, structured and the learning outcomes are taught.
Teachers practices are imperative to a successful lesson being taught as it is more focused on the program learning outcomes. Teachers putting into place the curriculum maps and the pacing guides into their lesson plans, will result in students getting quality, aligned lessons that are rigiorious.

A curriculum map shows where in the curriculum the student learning outcomes are taught and assessed (Tocco, 2020). A curriculum map ensures that the learning outcomes are aligned with what is taught in a curriculum (Tocco, 2020). A curriculum map can be used for existing curriculum as a way to ensure that the learning program learning outcomes are being taught and assessed (Tocco, 2020).

Pacing Guide Features

Lorem ipsum dolor sit

Pacing guides are unique to their level of detail based on the creators, the districts, the genre and the detail that is included (Broome, 2020).

Curriculum Map

Curriculum maps are a vague outline for what is to be taught based on the standards.

Consectetur adipiscing elit

Lorem ipsum dolor

A more detailed outline and when concepts need to be taught, how much time you have to teach that concept as well as what the standards with the specific concept.

Lesson Plan Features

When creating a lesson plan, it is important to keep in mind what the big idea is for that unit. The greatest way to do this is the backwards-design model (Bartholomew, Loveland & Santana, 2020). Lesson plans are in place to hone down what an educator needs to teach weekly and daily that are aligned to the standards. Lesson plans are designed for educators to identify and know the standards and how they align specifically to the weekly and daily lesson plans based on what is being taught to students (Bartholomew, Loveland & Santana, 2020).
