[quote=Anonymous]Tools of the Mind is a great program, but I'm disappointed that DCPS is calling it a curriculum. It's a set of strategies. There's nothing in TOM that will help children achieve foundational academic skills that are outlined in the standards. Now that kindergartners are expected to read, children in prek really need a jump on these skills. Not sure why kids can't have a balance of activities throughout the day - some where the child takes the lead and explores and others where the teacher leads, hopefully in a fun and playful way?[/quote]
