[quote=Anonymous]Also my initial take on this from the enrichment/acceleration perspective, although I've only read through a handful of lessons so far:

This provides a lot of hand-holding to teachers to provide some enrichment in the lower grades where there is usually none, which seems like good progress-- there are some things I don't love about it, but anything is better than nothing!

But the "stretch" material does not at all seem adequate to support compacting/acceleration, unless MCPS is going to write their own material (or ask Amplify Desmos to write material) for accelerated students to cover in small groups during the paired-work time in the middle of lessons.  (Although even if they did that, the kids would have to sit through ~10 minutes of whole group introductions, and then the teacher would have to spend her time during the paired-work time teaching the additional material to the accelerated students rather than circulating and providing support to other students who might need it.)
