[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have Back to School Night this week, any suggestions on what to ask the enriched literacy teacher? (Cohorted model at our school)

I'm particularly curious to hear about what some of the most-liked projects/readings/components were for last year's ELC 4th graders so I can ask specifically whether any of those are expected to be included this year as add-ons-- hoping to give my bored/annoyed kid some hope that there might be some fun and engaging stuff coming up.[/quote]

Longer form writing, meaningful discussion about significant texts, actual literary analysis. My child described the “assessment” they had to take after their most recent reading assignment and it was poorly designed and based purely on the content of assignment. It sounds worse than what my younger child is experiencing in CKLA, honestly. [/quote]

Does every school offer this (and have an enriched literacy teacher?)  My kid is at a fairly small ES and I've heard about none of this.   Perhaps my kid wasn't cohorted for this, but has strong MAP-R tests so I doubt it.

No. Most schools selected Model 2, which is not cohorted. Teachers are supposed to provide enrichment while also meeting the needs of kids who are below grade level. It's a recipe for failure. [/quote]
