I am currently the only one in my school doing 4 blocks. I
use it along side our reading program... or rather, I use
the reading program within 4 blocks. My class has made
tremendous gains, and I have seen it consistently in the
last two years that I have used the four blocks. My class
has had the best reading scores in the school this year and
last!!!

I would like to present this to the administration, as I
see it could be an asset to everyone. We have a lot of
teachers who use the basal rather loosely as it is, and the
new teachers are really floundering as they have not
provided us training with the current program in probably 5
or 6 years.

Any suggestions for getting everyone on board? What can I
present to the school higher ups to get them to adopt the
framework?

I had been one of the only ones at my school (just two of us) and when a committee
was formed to look at a new literacy program, I begged to be on it. Not only that, I
asked to chair it.

Lo and behold, we are now adopting 4 blocks! When you school is up for a new
curriculum, get yourself involved and ma...See More
