[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Advanced English for All” is an utter failure & a farce. There are many students in my kid’s class who are limited English speakers or who can barely write a coherent sentence. It’s not fair to lump everyone together and it helps no one in the end. MCPS tracks for math. [b]Why are they doing this in English?[/b] It’s disastrous[/quote]

When our school put everyone in Advanced English classes a couple years ago, we got this letter from the principal:

The purpose of this letter is to share an exciting change that is occurring in regards to our English classes.  Starting  in  School  Year  20-21,  all  students  will  be  enrolled  in  the  Advanced  English course, collapsing our two-tier course structure into one.  After analyzing our school performance data, soliciting student and staff feedback, and working with  our  leadership  and  supervisors  in  Central  Office,  we  believe  this  move  to  heterogeneous Advanced English classes will allow all students access to rigorous instruction and better match the progressive levels of student performance we experienced this year. As  part  of  this  process,  a primary  focus  of  the  English  Department  will  be  to  strengthen  our capacity  to  differentiate  instruction  in  heterogeneous  classes  using  the  features  of  the  new StudySync curriculum. We are eager to embark on this journey with our students as they grow as readers, writers and speakers.[/quote]
