That would be deeply disappointing, especially for CTE or arts credentials- the positions that come available less frequently.

There has got to be more to this story! So many questions: who was it from, how did it end up in your mailbox, what was it for?

Isn’t it astonishing how foundational literacy and numeracy education just got skipped? As if they weren’t important?

Good call on bringing percentiles with you! I have a colleague who brings Dear Colleague letters to meetings!

Both/And?

I appreciate how you “gentle parent” in your writing!

Delete the word not from that. Still having trouble with wording!

Yes, I definitely worded that strangely. I think there is a large population of schools that are not using a hodge podge of resources and calling that a curriculum. The word curriculum gets conflated with resource in a lot of places.

One thing that might help this effort is to funnel school and state data into categories like “purchased curriculum/programs” and “non-purchased-curriculum-specific resources primarily used”. I think the two get conflated easily and often.
