[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion.  The ELC is based in the old strategies of reading instruction such as Lucy Calkins.  An improved enriched ELA curriculum could be based in CKLA, be far more effective, and have students working on gaining similar knowledge across the board.

The ELC curriculum has had intensive writing experiences but it has not had any emphasis on reading complex non-fiction texts, or even complex fiction texts for that matter.

I'm not opposed to them exploring changes to the curriculum.  What I'm opposed to is going from a fully-enriched ELA block with a cohort of similar peers, to a "spend your ELA block with a teacher who's spending most of their time trying to help below-grade level students, and we'll maybe give you some enrichment during WIN time" experience.[/quote]

This 💯 We have so many students that are below grade level and reading. This is 100% what would happen at our school. The students who need the most help will either have intervention or small groups with the teacher, and the students who are on grade level or above are given independent work. I am a reading intervention teacher at MCPS who advocates for all children to be taught (and challenged) at their level! [/quote]
