The student engagement is energizing for us. It’s more fun to teach when it becomes a group activity rather than me just spewing information.

The readers, they give a clear explanation. They don’t feel like big words. They put in words that we understand and easy for us to comprehend.

Wait until you get these kids. The level of knowledge coming into your high school is going to be much different than you’ve seen in the past.

It’s not just this one class where this kid is getting this excellent education. They’re getting it across the board and those are the expectations.

They were learning real content, and that is what impressed us so much about the curriculum.

We’ve reassured our teachers that if you teach this curriculum with fidelity, by the time they leave 5th grade, they will have learned the standards.

I enjoy the background knowledge. Now they’re using that language because we’re giving them experiences that they wouldn’t otherwise have.

Kids were getting a lot, but it wasn’t succinct. For the whole district to have one curriculum from kindergarten all the way up was huge.

When they know more, they can have that discourse, they can have those conversations, and then they can put it on paper. So, it’s all comprehensive.
