[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear teachers - Would you please share some info and insights about the new LA curriculum? How does this compare to the current way of teaching? I applied my children to private schools for the fall because of their weak reading and writing. I'm very interested in understanding the new requirements.[/quote]

Where can we find the information about the new curriculum? Will FCPS go back to textbooks?[/quote]

This is from the company. Feel free to click around.

This is the presentation to the school board about it:

MCPS, after their failed curriculum 2.0, switched to Benchmark in 2018 (or so?) and are now switching to a different LA curriculum.  Teachers and parents weren't happy with it.  [/quote]

I seem to remember people from MCPS complaining that it was rote, which as was discussed on the first page is bad for experienced teachers but great for everyone else. Is that not right?[/quote]

Benchmark has had some big updates apparently over the last few years according to some groups I’m in. I’ve never used either, so I can’t say personally if it has improved.[/quote]
