[quote=Anonymous]...and families need to be asking questions about it. I'm a DCPS science teacher. Amplify is almost entirely screen-based and hands-on activities are simple and poorly-designed. Assessments are long (15 pages printed), numerous (at least two dozen a year), and poorly-written. There are critical omissions in the actual content. Kids hate it. Teacher concerns have been ignored. Ask your kids and your principal - or, better yet, your cluster instructional superintendent. Ask to see the assessments. Ask to observe an Amplify class. We're going to be stuck with it if families don't start learning about it and speaking up. Charter families - you too. My understanding is that it's already in several charter schools.[/quote]
