[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school is doing CKLA but the high achieving kids are grouped together. The teacher who has that class is really good and does some really creative stuff to make learning interesting. She is also very strict so I know the kids behave well for her.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm skeptical that CES is much different from home school.[/quote]

This will likely depend on what the home school is planning to do for literacy enrichment and whether they continue to offer the ELC or not.  What are folks hearing from your schools about that?  [/quote][/quote]

This is the new ELC model. Still a separate class for high achievers, but with CKLA and moves faster than "regular" classes to cover more content. Actually seems much better with old ELC curriculum.[/quote]

Are they actually competing the kids together? When I asked my school they said that there would be a weekly pull-out during the Flex Time for novel studies but not that it would be a separate class. That is mostly why I’m leaning towards accepting the CES spot over staying at the local school. The cohort is so important [/quote]

That's the other model for enrichment that is not ELC. (There are two models.) If there are enough kids to form a class, then next year at least, they should be offered the new ELC (which is based on CKLA but moves faster -- similar to how 4/5 and 5/6 math move faster).[/quote]

So is the curriculum at the CES then completely separate from this? Is it not based on CKLA? [/quote]

Correct, CES curriculum completely different. It's a home-grown curriculum from MCPS.[/quote]
