[quote=Anonymous]We are interested in the detail of curriculum 2.0.  Not the FAQ stuff but the little detail.  If you are a teacher, could you pls help?

Myself is a PhD graduated within 10 years.  We have a group of ~100 parents who are interested in understanding what is happening.  We will be grateful for your help.

Btw, I am not the author of the long comment.

[quote=Anonymous]meaning?

Your "degree" could be 20 years old. With your "credentials," do you think you could step into a class and analyze the curriculum and how it's implemented?

I highly doubt it.

[quote=Anonymous]My responses for the MCPS teacher in post 23:21 -

You may be the best teacher in the county or you may have it easier than most because you are at a Title 1 school with smaller class sizes than the rest of the schools have.  But the reality, from a parent's perspective of the classroom at my children's school is this:

How can 1 teacher adequately differentiate to all individual levels of 32 students in the classroom particularly in the lower grades if those classrooms are not already differentiated by skill ability (ie. have a high, middle, and low skill classes)?  You are trying to say, you have the ability to come up with 32 individualized lesson plans and help each child with every situation?  BS.

[b]I have an education background[/b] and I am the mother of two children needing special education services.  Before my children were identified and could receive Special Education services, the general education teacher had a list of 20 things to do for just my child that was given to the teacher by the EMT and IEP teams as a way to measure the "Response to Intervention".  It was absolutely impossible for the teacher to supply my child's needs on top of all the other unique needs in the classroom, but when the classrooms were divided based on skill level, the teacher at least had a narrower gap in abilities to focus on.

I currently have 1 child caught up in the 2.0 nightmare.  The teacher admitted to me in October the extensions had not been provided to her yet so there was nothing more challenging for her to give my child.  My child is bored and hates school under the 2.0 curriculum.  This wasn't the case under the previous system.[/quote][/quote][/quote]
