[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS told NAACP Parents Council Reps that Benchmark is staying for one more year, BUT they have trained staff in the Science of Reading. The reason for keeping Benchmark is that they couldn't find a curriculum to replace it that met its diversity, equity and inclusion needs. I have no idea what that means, but they're apparently reissuing a new RFP in the hopes of getting some other vendors who they'd hoped would bid but didn't to throw their hat in the ring.[/quote] This is what we mean when we say they are valuing DEI over the quality of the literary texts and curriculum. Of course we should include diverse characters and authors. But when given a weak/ineffective curriculum with diverse viewpoints and a stronger/more effective ELA curriculum with less diverse texts, MCPS picks the educationally weak option. [/quote] +1. Why couldn’t they simply supplement with other more diverse books in the library/classrooms? Our school essentially did that this year anyway through a partnership with the pta. So dumb that MCPS is letting this drive the decision.[/quote]
