[quote=Anonymous]I think we could do more to improve all of our schools by focusing on improving the educational opportunities we offer rather than obsessing on test scores. And I wouldn't necessarily try to replicate what Deal is doing. We could significantly improve the educational opportunities at our elementary and middle schools by offering the K-8 Core Knowledge sequence. This supplemental curriculum is designed to address the vocabulary and knowledge gap that many of our low SES students possess when they start school. The history, geography, literature, science and arts content is very rich compared to our current DCPS standards. One of the advantages of implementing this curriculum is that is requires teachers who are both well-educated and passionate about knowledge. There are many DCPS teachers that possess these qualifications and would love to work in a CK school. It goes without saying that we should improve the facilities at all of our schools.[/quote]
