[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All charters also use Common Core. [/quote]

No they do not.

Common Core are the DC state standards, not a specific curriculum. And yes, they DC public schools need to work to have students master those standards -- or live with the fact that their kids will not be prepared for PARCC, which tests mastery of the standards.

Sorry for the typo. [u]All charters and DCPS schools are required to cover the Common Core standards.[/u] If you read the charters' agreements with the DCPCSB they all state that they will cover Common Core, although they may get there with [b]various curriculums (Tools of the Mind, IBP, Expeditionary Learning, Montessori, e[/b]tc). [/quote]

those are not curricula, they are learning approaches.

Go to two different montessori schools and you will not find them teaching the same things, but you will find them teaching the same way.[/quote]

Tools of the mind is curriculum.  Common core is not curriculum but standards.  Ergo, PP was wrong when she said that all schools use the same curriculum.  They do not.[/quote]

Tools of the mind ends in PK4. Is is not relevant to PARCC in any way. You will note that the curriculum link from the PPP starts in K only.
