dc.description	This qualitative case study examined the perspectives and experiences of educators involved in the curriculum mapping initiative concerning the processes and activities that foster or impede curriculum mapping implementation. Twelve participants were recruited for the study. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, documents that involved standardized test reports and curriculum maps, and classroom observations. The results of the study indicated a strong congruence with the factors concerning initiating successful implementation identified in the literature, and they also highlighted some important aspects that are not widely discussed in the literature. The following strategies for successful curriculum mapping implementation were identified: consistency of leadership and support, sufficient and adequate training for mapping, provision of adequate resources and assistance, constant communication about the initiative, monitoring the implementation process, and providing incentives.
