[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ELC schools are listed at the bottom of this page. They are pretty evenly split across the county and yet still not in nearly enough schools. MCPS needs to expand to all schools. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/enriched/programs/elc.aspx[/quote]

I'm counting 6 of the CCES CES feeder ESes on the ELC list.  It is a great program and puts both Benchmark and StudySync to shame.  They should have a continuation for MS.   HIGH is good, but it is not literature.[/quote]

Agree -- they should expand ELC to all schools. Enriched Benchmark is a joke. They still use Benchmark as the core texts.[/quote]

MCPS needs to ditch Benchmark. [/quote]

PP here: Agree, that would be even better. But they aren't going to evaluate it until mid-year next year, and even if they decide to ditch it, it will be some time before a new curriculum can be selected and teachers trained. I think we are stuck with it for a couple more years. Given that, they really need to expand ELC to all schools so that kids who are in the CES lottery pool but don't get a slot have an opportunity for real challenge at their home school. It's unfair that only about 1/3 of schools offer ELC. [/quote]

Agree, but they can go back to the curriculum they had before benchmark while they figure out a new one. No sense in continuing this nonsense. My older kid was a guinea pig  for curriculum 2.0, which just made her hate math and now my younger one is dealing with benchmark! Why can’t mcps buy a curriculum that already works ? [/quote]

Unfortunately, the curriculum they had pre-Benchmark was 2.0, which was even worse than Benchmark. Why they chose something that was not recommended by experts and not based on the science of reading is anyone’s guess. [/quote]
