[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Benchmark is absolutely awful. I cannot fathom why MCPS chose this awful curriculum, especially since it wasn't actually recommended by external experts. I wish they would invest in a decent ELA curriculum.[/quote] +1 Infuriating that they did not choose an evidence-based curriculum. The new superintendent should take this on.[/quote] I believe they will be doing a curriculum review on it beginning this spring. I can't see them switching because they have spent $$$$$$ on all of the materials for each classroom. I think my reading specialist gave me around 8 boxes of materials just for my one classroom. The ample resources seemed like a positive at first but the scripted lessons really stifle the creativity of the teachers. I miss choosing books that match my students' interests and spending the necessary time for them to demonstrate mastery vs. glazing over a topic and racing on to the next reading skill. [/quote]
