[quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to tell. We paid close attention on school tours. One can learn some things. We paid attention to what teachers had written on their whiteboards, which math, science, history, or other textbooks were in use. We looked for evidence of Chromebooks or laptops being used in elementary grades. And so on. When touring the lower school of a K-8 frequently mentioned here, we saw 3-cueing instructions on the whiteboard and Fountas & Pinnell “reading” books. Then the tour guide talked about teaching reading and composition using Reader’s Workshop and Writer’s Workshop. We did not say a word, but dropped that school from our candidate list like a rock. (Listen to the “Sold A Story” podcast if wondering why we did that.)[/quote]
