[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC independent school educator here: 1) LC curriculum and the F&P assessment systems are not unique to independent schools. Thousands of public and charter schools across the country also use them. 2) "Curriculum" and "educational philosophy" are not the same thing. 3) "Sold a Story" shares a lot of valuable information, AND is an extremely biased perspective. [b]4) The adoption of a new curriculum is a huge endeavor for a school. It actually shouldn't happen overnight. If schools are taking some time to conduct an audit and explore alternatives, that's a good thing because it would be awful to jump ship into a program that is also problematic. [/b] 5) Instead of speculating through an anonymous forum, approach your school (admin and ELA coach/specialist) with curiosity, explain your concerns, and ask about next steps. [/quote] A “huge endeavor” oh please. Sounds like laziness and complacency to me. [/quote]
