[quote=Anonymous]The variance in what is done by one teacher versus another is due to the fact that the curriculum office didn't really deliver any materials. Small amounts of poor quality worksheets and materials have been trickling out but its widely left to teachers to watch videos with poorly articulated concepts to them come up with their own. This means that teachers have to struggle to come up with the basics. MCPS does not allow differentiation to mean acceleration so the teacher can't create anything that touches on a segment or level that is considered the next grade level up. This is as poorly defined as the ES grades leaving teachers in a real bind to do any substantive differentiation.

I agree though that the worst problem is that it overall a really bad curriculum. Differentiation with bad material is not much better than slow as snails pace with bad material.

MCPS knows that this has been an utter failure. They just don't know what to do about it and they protect their own. [/quote]
