[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Escuela Key is still using Lucy Caulkin's writers workshop. They absolutely need to switch to Core Knowledge. It's wrong that APS is letting the school continue to use a disproven curriculum that's been shown to harm students.[/quote] Core knowledge doesn't have much of a specific writing curriculum. It does ask kids to write a lot but doesn't have much in the way of specific writing instruction. There are programs that do (like The Writing Revolution, which is not the best but better than Caulkins workshop) and they need to use that. If nothing else, they should avoid anything branded Caulkins because she seems like such a fraud. [/quote]
