Interesting to see how Amplify CKLA is perceived from people who use it in the real world with ESL and SPED populations.

I haven’t vetted this website, but wanted to add this as food for thought.[/quote]

This is one of the few negative articles I have seen on CKLA and ppl keep sharing it. I suggest you go to the website https://knowledgematterscampaign.org/ and read the many positive stories regarding the many districts adoption of CKLA. CKLA is not the only knowledge rich curriculum out there - you will see by reading the stories on the website that there are many others. I, for example would have preferred APS adopt Wit & Wisdom which I absolutely love. But Wit & Wisdom is intense and even more difficult to implement so it scares many teachers. I’m thinking that that’s perhaps the reason why APS is recommending CKLA over Wit & Wisdom but who knows. Either way it’s an excellent knowledge rich curriculum and is evidence based. No curriculum is perfect of course but thankfully [b]we have great teachers at APS[/b] that are smart enough to figure out how to best tailor CKLA to the needs of their students.  [/quote]

I stopped trusting APS curricular decisions earlier this year when a higher up from APS who helped bring phonics95 to APS left APS mid year to become a "regional sales associate" for that same company. Made me wonder about the adoption process for sure!
