Are you familiar with the situation in New York? After three years of good results with the Core Knowledge Curriculum, it has been replaced by the Teachers’ College method only because de Blasio’s ed chick Farina has a very special relationship with the woman who developed it. It is not evidenced based. No, systems can’t be just switched out.
Not as long as a progressive is in charge.
This is a very good story. I love the phrase “ed chick.”
I’m not sure I could ever keep up with all the sleazy stuff going on in education state-by-state. Please tell us more about the NY story.
I know that Core Knowledge was created by E D Hirsch. It’s exactly the kind of thing I would always hope would prevail. So what is the The Teachers College method, something new or just a reference to John Dewey?
