This must be something that the school decides.

I told my older kid if the teacher tells them to do ST Math, to do Prodigy instead.

I’m an ES teacher, but not at an E3 school (this is the first I’ve heard of it). We are supposed to give every student “access to rigor”. That means we use AAP curriculum such as Jacob’s Ladder, Socratic Seminar, M3 etc. We also use the Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT) lessons, but they don’t count as meeting the school board’s access to rigor goal. I get frustrated because the lessons are simply too difficult for most of our students. Some get very frustrated. Because they are too difficult we spend time during our CT meetings trying to adapt them and scaffold the lessons. I think we’d be better off focused on the “regular” curriculum and getting that in.


Last year during DL, my gen ed kid's teacher had the kids do several interesting CCT lessons. No CCT lessons this year. Is it only for AAP this year?


All of my kids (level IV, level II, and no designation) are doing CCT lessons at our school.

15:10 here.
What is the connection to Prodigy? (I admit I'm not familiar with it.)


A poster upthread said teacher was letting kid use it.


Oh, I see. I kept missing it when I went back and skimmed. Thanks.
