You are no longer the expert then, right?  Times change.

Curriculum 2.0 is basically a step closer to IB, which is the highest level.  It's one of the 7 Keys, in fact.  So unless you know much about the IB framework, which includes PYP/MYP/DP, I don't think you can challenge the thinking behind Curriculum 2.0.

I would rather know that my child is being taught to think critically instead of blowing through indicator after indicator.  Put your teacher hat on again and research the Common Core Standards.  They help students to develop critical thinking skills.  Maybe you'll begin to see the big picture.

I AM a teacher trained in IB, AP and common core.  So I know of what I speak.

[quote=Anonymous]I fail to see the logic that a system with four points of measurement is not a four point scale...

If its easy for everyone to get a P but not defined nor achievable to get an ES then you are just teaching kids not to care about school work. [/quote]

Not the teacher here.  Would you define PYP/MYP/DP in your response so non-MCPS employees can follow along?  The idea that Common Core promotes development of critical thinking skills is a matter of opinion.  You might talk about the IB framework and why you think C2.0 is a good step toward IB, which you say is the highest level (of what?)[/quote]
