Role of Teachers.
The role of all teachers is a professional curriculum map generator and user. Each teacher will provide feedback to his/her peers as well as receive feedback. Teachers will use the curriculum maps for horizontal and vertical curriculum alignment and the selection of professional development. The curriculum maps will be used to identify how and what content and skills are spiraled between grade levels. As deemed appropriate, diary maps can be used in the development of consensus/projection/essential maps.

Role of the administrator
The role of administrator is to consistently motivate. Motivation occurs when curriculum mapping is included in school plans/policies, communicated frequently, connections are made between mapping and other initiatives, obstacles are addressed, and the data collected is used to conduct teacher‐based discussion and in making curricula decisions.
