Umm what is wrong with you? This is training for the literacy act that was bipartisan. Teachers in Virginia need to start teaching in accordance with the science of reading. Since it’s a whole new way of teaching they need this training. Are you against students learning to read?

I agree with the rest of the PPs. Why November 4? They should just have the training right before or after thanksgiving break. Too many breaks aren’t good for learning. [/quote]

Um... science of reading isn't that new. It's been pretty standard for at least 10 years. APS has been incredibly slow to adapt a decent curriculum, but this isn't new and many teachers were trained in the science of reading [/quote]
There is at least one APS elementary school that's still using Lucy Calkins and teachers-helping-teachers materials and hasn't adopted CKLA yet.  I know because my kids attend.  It's ridiculous.  I was told that CKLA was too hard for the school's students and too much work for teachers to adopt.[/quote]

You should inform as many SB members, Syphax folks, and anyone you can find on APS instructional committees. APS paid money for CKLA and its use is broadly supported across the three groups I just mentioned. Not using it will have a negative impact on test scores, and THAT will get them good and P*ss3d off.

Go on AEM and post this anonymously with the schools name. [/quote]

They could post it here anonymously too[/quote]

They could but more people would see it on AEM, so it would be more likely to get fixed. But you do you. [/quote]
