[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that APS has CKLA — a literacy curriculum that is solid and works well, APS needs to replace their math curriculum with one that works. “Primary Math (US Edition)” is almost identical to the “Primary Math” curriculum used by Singapore, which consistently has high math score in the PISA tests. The only differences are (1) that the US Edition teaches US weights/measures rather than Metric-only and (2) the US Edition teaches US coin and printed money denominations rather than Singaporean ones. If they would switch and use that, it would be great.[/quote] While it’s a solid curriculum, Singapore (and other high-performing countries) do well because: 1) everyone values education and 2) they group kids by ability. Our teachers have to spend all their time and energy teaching to the bottom and trying to get kids to behave. No wonder they’re leaving the profession.[/quote]
