Next week is National School Choice Week and I will be moderating a panel of NYC parents and educators to discuss which school options are available in our city and what policy and governance changes may be on the horizon under the Mamdani administration.
Thanks for sharing my piece on the need for a national curriculum usage database! Heck, NYC needs one of its own... why aren't we getting clearer signals on the aggregate performance of the Into Reading vs Wit and Wisdom vs EL Education schools?
On that note, I hope NYC parents are reading this excellent piece from a teacher using Into Reading, on the ways the curriculum's choice to design around excerpts instead of whole books effectively bastardizes the content. Read it for the confusing illustration alone!
