[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any idea on the effect on ELC?  Would it remain complementary to the base curriculum?  If not, will it be modified or abandoned in favor of something that comes with the curriculum?  If the latter, is that viewed as something that would provide a proper local alternative to CES?[/quote]

ELC is for kids who demonstrate a need for enrichment. This curriculum is the base curriculum for all kids. [/quote]

Yes.  That's what I'm positing, here.  Will ELC as it exists fit with this new base curriculum, or does the new curriculum come with its own enrichment options such that they would do away with ELC as it exists?  If the latter, are the enrichment options such that they would be better than ELC/a good alternative to the under-seated CESs?[/quote]

I reviewed the curriculum and, although the base texts are MUCH more rigorous than Benchmark, it's an at-grade level curriculum. So there will still be a need for CES/ELC.[/quote]

That makes sense because MCPS is only focused on the bottom 20%.[/quote]

How is that a focus on the bottom 20% if the curriculum is at grade-level?  [/quote]
