[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single Einstein cluster parent I have spoken to in our neighborhood is livid about this plan. We might have different ideas to make it better but overall we pretty much agree it is going to be a total sh$t sh0w that will hurt our kids. We know this because many of my neighbors' kids already got to be the guinea pigs for an elementary school program that MCPS didn't properly plan or support. Last year MCPS put out a report about how Black, Brown and disabled kids in the program experienced lower math and literacy rates because of this. These exact same kids will be the guinea pigs for the new regional program model.[/quote]

Survey and interview feedback detailed major challenges in aligning BUF with existing curricula, particularly in dual language programs. The participants noted that the[b]rushed rollout and lack of adequate training[/b] led to concerns about the effective implementation of BUF. Additionally, the curriculum's lack of appropriate resources, such
as authentic texts and culturally responsive materials, forced staff to create or adapt their own, which was time-consuming and difficult. Staff had to invest considerable time and energy in developing and writing comprehensive lesson plans for the units, which also involved additional planning time and additional coordination among
teachers.
