[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not really "guinea pigs" at Basis. They already have a tried and tested model that's worked for several other schools. They've already had an opportunity to work many of the kinks out.[/quote]I'm not so much concerned with the curriculum (which I believe to be well established) as with the teachers; that is where I consider the program will be experimental. Unfortunately, in a small (new) school, if the Spanish teacher, for instance, is marginal, you may be guaranteed marginal instruction for that calendar year, or many teacher transitions. [/quote] As I understand it, many of the core personnel are coming from Arizona, and the new hires are sent to Arizona to be trained alongside their Arizona cohorts for consistency.[/quote]
