[quote=Anonymous]The fact that folks are complaining about no enrichment with CKLA tells you all that you need to know about how "differentiation" will work as a strategy. Any teacher worth their salt would have a wonderful time providing enrichment and inventive writing assignments with the CKLA units. In fact, before Core Knowledge had a corporate spin, teachers would submit units based on the free curriculum to the website (not sure if those still exist somewhere on the Internet.) These were incredibly creative and enjoyable and I used many in my early teaching days (now teach high school). Just providing an additional section of "Close Reading" with a worksheet is not the point of a cohort class, and I'm not surprised that the cohort model has not received rave reviews. This will only get worse under a mixed classroom model. The SUBSTANCE of CKLA is great; again, it's the implementation and choices within a packaged curriculum that stink. [/quote]
