[quote=Anonymous]📢 ACTION NEEDED: Protect ES Literacy Enrichment for Advanced Learners!
MCPS is ending the Enriched Literacy Curriculum (ELC) that served gifted 4th and 5th graders in cohorted classes. Instead, schools can now choose between:

➡️ Model 1 – Enriched CKLA curriculum taught in cohorted advanced classes
➡️ Model 2 – Enrichment as an add-on in mixed-ability classes

🚨 Model 1 is the best way to ensure advanced learners get the consistent, enriched instruction they need. Past experience shows that when enrichment is optional or unmonitored, it often doesn’t happen—and MCPS is not requiring training or conducting oversight this time either.

🧠 CKLA is a new curriculum aligned to grade-level standards, and teachers are still adjusting. Now is not the time to expect every teacher to layer in enrichment in mixed-ability classrooms—especially when many students haven’t had CKLA in grades K–3. Model 1 makes it easier to implement enrichment well, by training a smaller number of teachers to deliver a fully enriched curriculum to a cohorted group of advanced learners.

🎯 We need YOUR voice. Principals are choosing between these models NOW. Email your principal today and urge them to choose Model 1!

📧 CC central office and Board of Education members so they know this matters to families.

✅ EMAIL YOUR PRINCIPAL AND COPY AND PASTE THIS EMAIL LIST TO THE CC LINE:
