As I read this intro and first chapter I got so excited. I totally agree! I think that getting a unified curriculum is the first thing that we need to accomplish at PHES and then we need to work on teaching to mastery. I think because we all feel so pressured to teach what is needed for MAP testing, we too quickly move from one topic to the next. Just as we need to master the elements we are doing before we move on, students need to master each step and concept before they move on.
I loved what was said at the bottom of page 11 and top of page 12, that we shouldn't be implementing new things until the three elements are reasonably well implemented. I think we get so bogged down learning new programs that we run out of time to actually put them to use.
I am looking forward to reading more.
