[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recommendation is [b]rollout a new K-8 ELA and math curriculum within three years. [/b] Sounds like the MCPS goal is to begin procurement this summer.  I really don't see why there can't be workbooks or something equivalent available by the fall.  I understand that it would be too much to demand teachers fully implement this, without training, on that time frame.  But how could it hurt to have these materials as a back-up by the fall?

[b]The separate question is what to do about student deficiencies. [/b] I don't hear that being broached.[/quote]

What do you mean three years?  It takes MCPS three years while paying John Hopkin's for the curriculum reccomendation to fix C2.0. So for three years kids have to continue to have errors in the handouts and an ineffective curriculum?

Rollling out a proven, tested ES curriculum should not take three years. [/quote]

Yep, the plan is to roll it out incrementally over 3 years. They'll start with 30 school this fall, then expand it each year until all schools get it 3 years from now.

I agree it's ridiculous to expect some of the kids to have to suffer through a failed curriculum for years. [/quote]
