[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's accurate to say that Tubman is using KIPP strategies. When my DD was there, the teachers showered her with love, and their PS/PK program is play based - the upper grades emphasize participatory learning, and their students are very engages. Not that I know what KIPP is doing, but I've heard that it's very drill-based and memorization-based. I didn't get that feeling from Tubman at all. For example, they encouraged parents to stay with their PS kids as long as they needed to the first few weeks of school. [/quote] I am no KIPP defender, but I don't think their PK is drill-based. At least one of their campuses uses the same curriculum as Tubman and many other DCPS -- Tools of the Mind.[/quote]
