If you ever tell teachers to teach a curriculum without making revisions you're essentially teaching them to ignore the very children their expected to teach by privileging curriculum "experts" above teacher knowledge. #thethoughtpartner

Dawn Gelking, BA, MS Ed Ed Justice Research & Organizing Collaborative The webinar will include discussion of how the texts are sampled and how the ratings are/can be done on your own programs/resources (as well as how to work with low-scoring materials) ...but I believe the report focused on myView because it looked at programs for K-3.
