[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone appalled by the state of ELA instruction in MCPS needs to reach out to these folks to let them know how you feel:

Chief Academic Officer Niki Porter
Chief of Schools Peter Moran
Superintendent Thomas Taylor[/quote]

I would focus on the Board of Ed, not these guys.  I mean, it  probably doesn't hurt, but it's not like they don't know what's going on already [/quote]

These guys have more power to do more to change things than the BOE. All the BOE can do is vote on the curriculum. They are completely reliant on Taylor and his team for implementation.

Taylor, Moran and Porter can make changes that show up in the classroom ASAP.[/quote]

The Board can do whatever they want.  They can absolutely fund and prioritize an audit to ensure that only rigorous honors-level classes get the "honors" title, and they can also require that all schools offer honors classes at that level.  No, they're not going to be micromanaging exactly which books are offered in each class, but they are at the top of the food chain and have the most power, even if they don't always like to use it.

Things are the way they are because the central office staff like it that way.  If you want it to change, you have to take it to their bosses, the Board of Ed.[/quote]
