After seeing the size of this "TEAM" that put together this new SCIENCE CURRICULUM. I now more than ever would like to see a cost comparison between KNOWATOM and this new science curriculum. There is no more RACE TO THE TOP grant to finance some of this so-called development. Unlike this year the position of ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM will be paid out of pocket instead of out of a grant. There were a few team members who weren't even present.
I know that many of the other team members did not devote their full-time to the development of this project but I am also pretty sure they didn't volunteer their time either. The ACTUAL cost of this program probably would surprise most tax payers. Compared to KnowAtom which has it's own high price tag, I have doubts that it is even a cost savings, just friends or friends of friends getting fat.
Coming shortly I will post a page from the POWERPOINT of this new curriculum that was tested out Grade 1 in four schools last year. Be prepared your first graders were exposed to an image that you might expect in LAW & ORDER SVU rather than in a first grade Science class.
