[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great idea!  Unfortunately we are oob.  Maybe Elliot hine and Jefferson will have something like this in two years, when we need 6th grade.[/quote]

Just as Deal, Eliot-Hine, and Jefferson follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years program. That's a different model, and some - including myself - argue better than SEM, not least because it comes with international accreditation and oversight. But I'll happily take either anytime because they come with differentiation components that are important in a context in which there are considerable achievement gaps. Both IB and SEM are quite involved and don't come cheap because of training and programing. I'm very glad to see that these pieces continue to be properly funded by DCPS, as well as expanded. That was a real battle in previous years and shouldn't need to be fought again.[/quote]

Curious what gives you the impression that International Baccalaureate comes with a "differentiation" component in the middle school program?  What do you mean by that?[/quote]
