Unrelated question: What's the name of the alternate ELA curriculum you're referencing and which schools have it?
My guess is it is Wit and Wisdom (Ross, Lafayette and Brent got permission to try it out).
OP here - yes. Not sure if any other charters besides EL Haynes use it.
We are at one of the schools that is using it, it's pretty interesting! One of the main differentiators is that it is trying to build content knowledge (not just skills), and they explore the content through a lot of different angles, and there is lots of writing.
Good luck, OP! sounds like you are really doing your research and also keeping an open mind for potential "gems."
