[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is some good news too. Arlington is adopting amplify ckla as its ELA curriculum for k-5. It’s a knowledge based curriculum with a strong phonics curriculum. Natalie Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap has written a lot about it. Super exciting news! Obviously the next step would be adequate teacher training on the new curriculum. I’m worried there isn’t enough time for that but I am not an educator so I don’t know how much time should be allocated to teacher training.

Unfortunately I don’t know much about math curriculums so I have no idea if the curriculum they adopted is a good one. Figures crossed that it is.

What a horrendous choice, don’t know why you’re excited about this.[/quote]

What’s the deal with this curriculum?

This choice has been finalized already?

Did they look at Wilson?

Take a look at the Atlantic article I posted. Also this study: https://ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rrq.338

Along with Wit & Wisdom (when it’s combined with Wilson’s Fundations) Amplify CKLA is considered one of the best curriculums out there and there is a lot of research to back it up. Like I said in a previous post - take a look at the Knowledge Matters Campaign website. Also look at Achieve the Core. I myself would have preferred Wit & Wisdom but CKLA has an excellent reputation as well.[/quote]
