07 Template Unit Map
HEADERS: Please make sure you change your HEADERS accordingly, with each
new document.
SAVING: Each Unit/Section should be its own document. Please save the
document, taking out the word “TEMPLATE” and designating the Unit - Section
contained. Therefore, the Unit Map for Unit 2-Section 3 would be:
Unit Map 2.3
Unit
Simply type in the number and name of the Unit:
Unit 2 – How to Write a Curriculum
Section
Simply type in the number and name of the Section:
Section 2.3 – Filling out the Forms
Timeline
Simply type in the number of days:
Timeline 5 Days
NJCCCS
Ten rows have been included in the template, for possible strands. Each has a „?‟ where
the content # should go.
Column 1 - The first time you use the template, please replace all ?‟s with the Content
Number, before the standard # (Contents in RED Below). The Content Numbers are:
1. Visual and Performing Arts
2. Health and Physical Education
3. Language Arts
4. Mathematics
5. Science
6. Social Studies
7. World Language
8. Technology
9. Career Education and Consumer, Family, and Life Skills
If there are more rows than there are standards in your content area, please delete the
extra rows. In the example below, Language Arts only has 5 strands, and so the rows
.6 through .9 have been deleted by highlighting the rows and pressing CTRL + X.
Column 2 – The text in this column should be CENTERED.
You only need to enter the Strand and CPI numbers. They may be grouped with a
hyphen as shown. Please separate individual CPI‟s, or one group from the next, with a
semicolon. Shown below, 3.1 is targets A.1 through A.6, while 3.2 targets A.2 AND C.6
through C.8
Please note that in the example below, 3.4 is not targeted at all.
1. This is acceptable. There does not have to be CPIs in for every standard in every
unit.
2. DO NOT delete standards rows just because there are no CPIs for that standard
in that section. If there five standards in Language Arts, there should ALWAYS
be five rows in your Unit Map.
