[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary was on the science of learning. Everything was great- much better way to teach. Only problem is that our curriculum doesn’t align at all with the science! Teaching us to meet the kids where they are- great- then MCPS, let us![/quote]

As an ES parent, I am curious in what ways you feel like the curriculum doesn't align with the science of learning?  Which subjects?  We're probably stuck with CKLA for awhile but they are apparently about to replace Eureka so I would be very curious about your perspective on whether it aligns with the science or what could be different in a new curriculum that we could advocate for...[/quote]

DP - where did you read they are replacing Eureka?[/quote].

They've mentioned it a few times lately including at the Board meeting yesterday: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DMEQEB68EB75/$file/Curriculum%20Update%20251016%20PPT%20REV.pdf[/quote]

I'm not sure that they are replacing Eureka as much as there will be an evaluation of if it meets and aligns with the revised standards and/or if there is something else that does so better AND would be better to teach.[/quote]

Eureka also has a newer edition that isn't what MCPS purchased. I'd be really shocked if they didn't renew the Eureka contract, because it's a pretty decent curriculum that's evidence based. My guess is we'd be switching to the newer version, not getting something new entirely.[/quote]

We have to switch from Eureka to a new curriculum because MSDE is rolling out new math standards for the state that no curriculum currently addresses. Personally, I like Eureka and wish we had the newest version that isn't as language heavy in its content. I don't know what all the counties in MD are going to do from a curriculum standpoint in order to teach the new standards. Hopefully not go back to writing our own with that C 2.0 mess.[/quote]
