[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is switching over to using the Amplify science curriculum. This year 6th graders used it and it will continue to expand to the other grade levels. This doesn’t help current 8th graders, but if a DCPS school isn’t using the curriculum at the 6th grade level, I would say something about it and ask why not.[/quote] Have you looked at the Amplify “curriculum”? It’s truly, truly terrible. I’ve considered quitting over it. There are blatant mistakes, a total lack of differentiation up and down, and it is really poorly ordered. The definition of power is wrong. The human body unit skips the brain! Human body cells are shown as rectangular. DNA isn’t taught in Genetics. Gizmos is 1000% better than Amplify. Expect scores to go down if Amplify is being used, not up. [/quote]
