[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What this thread sounds like is speculation and someone stirring the pot.  CO has not said that ELC is going away.  All they ever said last year was that they would evaluate this year IF CKLA could be used as a replacement or supplement for advanced learners in ES.  They acknowledged that it was an on-grade level curriculum.

So before folks get up in arms that ELC is going away, first speak with your school staff (Principal and Reading Specialist) about what they are hearing and thinking for next year?  Explicitly ask what they are doing currently with ELC (especially if you’re a 3rd grade parent), vs CKLA 4th&5th. If your school is doing the CKLA+ pilot, ask what that entails and looks like implementation wise and ask what differences (positive and negative) have been noticed for students with setup vs ELC.

Be willing to wait for feedback in February as teachers and staff are trying to complete Winter testing and get through missed content and things in order to wrap up the quarter and semester.  In fact that is another question to ask for CKLA+ pilot schools: Has anyone compare midterm progress of last years ELC students to midterm progress of the CKLA+ pilot students?  Do we have teacher, student, parent feedback thus far with regards to CKLa+?[/quote]

Spoken like a central office staffer who does not want parents to advocate to keep ELC.

Central office won’t announce anything until it’s a done deal, and it’s too late for parents to do anything about it. [/quote]

Where did anyone say don’t advocate for ELC??? In fact the entire post was about figuring out what your ES school knows and are thinking in regards to the program/curriculum.  If you’re going to make a case to keep ELC you should be armed with accurate information about its implementation and benefits over the CKLA+ curriculum and implementation.  Speculating on DCUM is unhelpful.  Talking to you ES school staff show interest and raises questions and attention.
