[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS MS Science teacher here. Amplify is terrible. Tons of additional testing. So much screen time, much of it in place of labs and hands-on demos. Kids hate it. DCPS has presented no data supporting it other than "some magazines said it was the best." I'm hoping that when it rolls into 8th grade next year, more people will start talking about it. Parents need to be calling principals and instructional superintendents. No one listens to teachers. FWIW, several charter schools use it too. Science isn't as valued citywide as ELA and Math are - otherwise, there would be uproar. [/quote] This feels like the most important and alarming thing ive ever read on this site! As a middle school parent. [/quote] They didn’t release the interim MAP scores this year to teachers. My guess is because they’re so much lower. [/quote]
