Curriculum Mapper®: The Essential Elements
Purpose:
This session develops a strong understanding of the important features of the software
that are necessary to begin entering information into Curriculum Mapper®. Time is
allocated so that teachers can begin mapping the curriculum, placing the learning within
the context of the mapping process to avoid the common “point-and-click” workshop.
Goals:
 Understand the essential features of the software to begin mapping
 Have the confidence to use Curriculum Mapper® independently
Objectives:
 Use navigation tools to move through the software
 Create and edit a curriculum map
 View colleagues’ maps
 Know where to get help
 Attach standards, hyperlinks, and documents
 Print and save maps
 Use the month action feature
Curriculum Mapper® Features
 Attach Standards
 Print
 Search
 Document Library
Prerequisites
 Bring Mapping Plan, timeline, and the guidelines
 Have a map for at least one month
 Make sure each teacher has a Website address and access to a file (e.g., Excel, Word) that
is used for instructional purposes (e.g., test, quiz, rubric)
 Every person attending the session must have an ID and password for Curriculum Mapper®
 All technical requirements should be in place
 Courses must be imported into the system
 This should be a one-to-one ratio of participants to computers
Follow-up Activities
 Continue mapping on a regular basis
 The Mapping Council should monitor the progress of the mapping effort and
determine specific needs (e.g., technical, conceptual, practical)
 The Mapping Council should continue to meet on a regular basis

My Account: Logging In
Your First Time Logging In
You have received an account on Curriculum Mapper®. The information shown
on your Quick Start sheet is necessary for you to log on to the secure database.
It also contains a convenient information card to cut out and keep in a safe place.
1. Use your Internet Browser to go to the Curriculum Mapper home page
www.clihome.com. Move your mouse to LOG IN then click on
Curriculum Mapper® Login. You will be directed to the logon page.
Use the information at the top of the Quick Start sheet to enter your
user ID and password. Click Enter.
Note: Passwords are case sensitive.
2. You should be directed to the “Welcome” page. Please be sure to
enter this information. The primary e-mail address should be your email address at school. The alternate e-mail address is optional and
should be a personal e-mail address that you use at home. If you
choose, only the primary e-mail address will be displayed with your
curriculum maps. It is important to enter an e-mail address so that you
may recover a lost or forgotten password. Your e-mail addresses will
not be given or sold to any other agency or used for solicitation
purposes in any way. Click Update the Home to return to the
“Welcome” page.
3. It is a good idea to change your password right away. On the menu
bar at the left, let your mouse hover on My Account; choose Change
Password. Your password must be between 6-10 characters long.
You may use numbers as well as upper and lower-case letters, but you
may not use symbols (such as ‘#’ or ‘?’). Your password is case
sensitive. Please keep your password safe and do not give your
password to anyone else. If anyone else logs in with your ID and
password, he or she can create and edit maps under your name,
causing much confusion. For this reason, please do not share your
password with anyone. No one from Curriculum Mapper will ever ask
you for your password.
4. To change your information at any time, let your mouse hover on My
Account on the menu bar, then choose Update My Info. Make any
changes you wish; click Update.
NOTE: For security reasons, if there is no activity for 40 minutes while you are

Attaching a File to a Curriculum Map
In order to attach a file to a map, the document must have first been uploaded
into your Document Library (see previous instructions). Once this is done, any
file in your Document Library may be attached to any number of your curriculum
maps, in any number of places.
If you have followed the instructions above, the open window should show the
map to which you will be attaching your document (if not, follow Steps 1 and 2
above).
To attach a file to your curriculum map:
1. While you are in the “Add/Edit” screen, place your mouse where you want
your document attached; click the Attach File button.
2. Select the document you wish to attach to your map by clicking once
anywhere on the line where the document is listed. This will highlight the
document in blue.
3. Click the Attach button. A small icon
will appear to indicate that you
have successfully attached the document.
School and District Libraries
In addition to your personal Document Library, your school or district may keep
a common library that is accessible to all teachers. In this way, all teachers have
access to a common set of documents to download or attach to their maps. Only
a School or District Coordinator may add or remove documents from the School
or District Document Library.
Adding a Link
Insert your cursor in the spot where you want a link to appear. Type
http://www.yourURL.com. For example, if you wanted to link to the CNN Website,
type http://www.cnn.com. Save your map. When you go to the magnifying glass
icon to view your map, you will see that the link is now “hot” or “live.” When you
click on the link, you should go to that Webpage.
Note: You must include the http:// when adding the link.

3. The “Standards/Reports” screen will load. This may take up to a
minute to appear, as all your state and local standards as well as class
information is loaded.
To create a Standards Report, select the report type to generate. Use the
“Select Report” pull-down menu at the bottom of the screen to select the
desired report.
Note: Click Explain for any selected report to see an example and short
explanation. The Explain button is very useful when deciding which report is
most appropriate.
The choices for “Standards Reports” are:

Standards vs. Courses (Totals Only). Displays the total number of times
the selected standards have been addressed in each target class.

Standards vs. Courses (Coverage Breakdown). Displays the depth that
each selected standard has been addressed in each target class, as
teachers have indicated (introduced, developed, or reinforced).

Search for Missing Standards. Compares the standards selected
and your target classes, displaying which standards have not been
addressed for each class.

What am I Missing? Compares the standards selected with your classes
only, displaying missing standards from each class.

Where are Standards Taught? Compares the standards selected with
your target classes, displaying which classes address each standard –
and to what depth.
With the Select Standards tab selected, check the boxes of any standards you
want to track in the report. Just as in the “Add/Edit” screen, click the
Expand/Collapse icon
to drill deeper into a goal, strand, etc.
Note: Each “Standards Report” is limited to one Subject/Grade combination.
For example, you may check any standards from Language Arts (Grade 5) and
generate a report, but you may not mix Mathematics (Grade 5) into the same
report.
The Check All and Check Lowest Level buttons are shortcuts to check many
standards at once.

If no standards are checked when the Check Lowest Level button is
clicked, every standard in the Subject/Grade combination at the lowest
level (i.e. where you can not drill any deeper) will become marked.

If you have one or more standards checked when the Check Lowest
Level button is clicked, only the deepest level of the checked standards
will become marked.
When you have checked all the standards you want to target, click the Next Step
button or click the Additional Criteria tab.
Report results are usually represented in a grid for easier viewing.

Copy/paste a grid to another document or Microsoft Excel. This makes it
easy to save report results, e-mail reports to others, etc.

graph. Any charts may be copied/pasted into other programs (e.g.
PowerPoint) to share with others.
The Additional Criteria tab allows you to target only particular classes (or
categories) in the report. For example, you may want to target only math classes
against the mathematics standards selected.
1. If you know the particular classes you want to target, highlight them in
the course list. Hold the CTRL key as you highlight multiple courses.
2. If you want to target the courses by grade level and category, first
select All Courses in the course pull-down menu. Next, select a
Grade Level (use the CTRL key to select multiple grades) and/or a
Category. Only a single category may be selected.
3. Choose the year(s) (use the CTRL key to select multiple years), map
type, and field to search. (Selecting a particular month is not an option
here and will always be dimmed.)
4. To see only the standard number on the report (as opposed to the
explanatory text for each standard), select Yes.
5. When finished targeting classes, click Generate Report.
Note: Generating a complex report (e.g. matching many standards against many
classes) may take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes. Cancel
the report at any time by closing the window; however, do not navigate anywhere
else with your web browser as the report is being generated.
