[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) APS transitioned to structured literacy (Fundations, phonics 95 and Heggerty) (2) APS transitioned to a knowledge rich curriculum (CKLA). Now what we need to work on is improving the writing curriculum. We need to implement The Writing Revolution starting from elementary school (they are beginning to implement it in the upper grades). Write to the board, to the ELA Department, Advisory Council on Teaching and Learning etc. to bring The Writing Revolution to all of APS (k-12). Another thing we need is for elementary schoolers to learn how to type and to actually have keyboards. Right now they use the iPad.[/quote]

CKLA includes reading and writing. Not sure how you could not do the writing component for another program- it’s integrated together. This is upper elementary, not sure about lower grades.[/quote]

Yes there is a writing component in CKLA. It is quite weak. The Writing Revolution is not a curriculum per se but a method of teaching writing. It has been implemented in various school districts along with CKLA. APS is considering it for elementary but it’s not a priority. If parents advocate for it though they may push it up.
