[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous posters are wrong. Beauvoir uses Orton Gillingham along with its own syncretic workshop approach. [/quote]

Have you asked them? You know “workshop” is Calkins right? I’ve asked - nothing official has been changed. So if they’ve changed in the last 3 weeks since school started and not told anyone kudos - but nothing formal has been announced.

Sorry, Caulkins did not parent the word workshop, nor does Beauvoir use that word, it’s my description of their curriculum.

Beauvoir may draw a phrase and a concept or two from Caulkins, but it prides itself on developing its own approach to curriculum in reading and math. As I said in PP they draw from many different approaches to develop their own. Look up the word syncretic.

You seem to be pushing an anti-Caulkins agenda and assume knowledge of Beauvoir.

I have children who attended Beauvoir who emerged terrific readers and writers, and are now thriving academically in highly competitive schools so I am quite happy with their syncretic curriculum.[/quote]
