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 we have great teachers at APS that are smart enough to figure out how to best tailor CKLA to the needs of their students.  [/quote]

Looks like you’d need to add Wilson for Wit & Wisdom.

Yep… but Arlington schools already use Wilson’s Fundations so i figured it would be a great fit. I say Arlington schools but apparently not all of them. ATS does and I’m pretty sure there are others. [/quote]

From a procurement/rollout it might be more expensive and complicated to get two new countywide programs. Looks like the CKLA includes phonics & LA?

[/quote]

Yeah see my post above. Apparently Geodes which is the bridge between the two programs is really expensive. Plus like you said perhaps for roll out purposes two programs is more difficult than one. Now if all schools were using Wilson’s Fundations it would be a different issue. But that isn’t the case.[/quote]
