Ideally, the district curriculum and instructional materials would work in concert. However, because materials are developed for a general audience, they rarely track the scope and sequence of any district curriculum. That lack of consistency impedes the successful implementation of both, and often results in teachers using their materials as the de facto curriculum for the course. Mapping instructional resources to the district curriculum ensures that lessons and activities from the instructional materials are in sync with the curriculum. Such synchronicity eases teachers’ workloads, facilitates standards -aligned instruction, and supports students’ academic progress.
