[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This curriculum is for teachers that have never taught. And the assessment is very subjective and very time  consuming. (TSG).  If you want to feel as if you have wasted your money becoming a teacher, then this is the curriculum for you.  Creative curriculum wants children to learn only though play. (Which yes is important;however, students more  structure and kindergarten readiness skills ) Don't waste your money[/quote]

I'm not a teacher, I'm a parent with a child at a center that uses CC.  All the teachers have at least a certificate, most have and a degree in child development.  I've been very impressed and CC is a big part of why I haven't moved my pre-K child to a more convenient location.  I'm sure it can be implemented poorly, like any curriculum.  Maybe it is a pain in the butt for teachers, I don't know.  But as a parent, I like it.

As for K-readiness, my child forms her letters well and can sound out simple words.  Today they each took a piece of paper, made a two-column table that they labeled (this would have been by copying from the teacher's white board) and then wrote letters with curves in one column and letters without curves in another.  So you've got writing, sorting, and critical faculties engaged but it's not a drill or a worksheet.[/quote]
