[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Escuela Key is still using Lucy Caulkin's writers workshop. They absolutely need to switch to Core Knowledge. It's wrong that APS is letting the school continue to use a disproven curriculum that's been shown to harm students.[/quote] What is wrong with Writers Workshop? I thought the issue was with the reading approach?[/quote] It's based on the same flawed premise as the reading curriculum: if you just leave kids alone, give them time, and think happy thoughts, they'll learn to read and write all on their own. The curriculum doesn't actually teach writing. It tells teachers to give kids pencils and ask them to write. There's no instruction.[/quote]
