[quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts on DC Public Schools reading curriculum? They use a DCPS created curriculum called Units of Study for content and in grades K-3 Fundations and Heggerty for phonics instruction. I'm curious why DCPS refuses to adopt High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) when many neighboring districts have made this a priority. Our literacy rate is abysmal and nobody seems to care enough to change course at a pace that matters. 31% of students were reading at or above grade level according to PARCC data. Where is the outrage? Research tells us that 95% of students CAN read with high quality evidence aligned instruction. Do we not think our students can achieve this? I feel frustrated and I want to do something about it. Listen to Sold a Story and The Knowledge Matters podcast if you haven't already![/quote]
