[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They get away of ELC mainly because the curriculum cost is 10x CKLA. So it proves MCPS’s priority on access vs excellence. [/quote]

[b]I thought the ELC curriculum was designed by MCPS?  Where did you get this info on costs?[/b]

Also I think many/most parents would be fine with cohorted advanced classes using CKLA (with added enrichment on top of it) and the curriculum costs don't explain why they can't keep requiring that.[/quote]
It is. Most people posting here have no clues of what they are talking about. [/quote]

Check out the ELC website: "Jacob’s Ladder Reading Comprehension Program, Junior Great Books, William and Mary Language Arts Units, and Lucy Calkins Unit of Study in Writing." These are the curricula that MCPS need to subscribe/purchase, which are much more expensive than CKLA. I remember someone from central office touched upon the cost in one of the BOE meeting happening in summer when they decided to unanimously adopt the CKLA curriculum. Go check out the video on youtube.

At the same meeting, several BOE members expressed concerns on differentiation and acceleration options in CKLA. The answer was extremely vague, and of course BOE threw the follow-up to the back of their minds ever since. [/quote]
