I just read in the KC Star that the KCMOsd board is going to ax the reading curriculum they have had for the past two years. Duh. It takes a longer investment to get good data on the results. That is just one problem. How about this? They are axing it for this school year, which starts on the 25th.
I just spent the past three days being trained to do reading instruction with Success for All, our district reading curriculum - well, until last night, that is.
A response to the article posted on the Star website by a district parent/teacher said that part of the problem is that the board makes decisions without consulting the teachers & administrators. What a mess. There was also an accusation of board members getting kick-backs from publishing companies for using their materials. What a mess.
I'll just have to remember that in the midst of all this mess that I am diving into are some kids who really need someone to believe in them and teach them. I'm just wondering what in the heck I'm supposed to use to get that job done!
