I teach at a "progressive" charter school, which emphasizes
the "workshop model" for teaching language arts. I'm afraid
the entire staff is busy re-inventing our own language arts
curriculum. Big job! We aren't really curriculum experts
anyway.

Why doesn't the school just buy a curriculum, written by
experts who had the energy and time to write a good one?
Becuase we must honor the workshop model. Well, okay, the
workshop model has many good points.

My question, and I do have one: Are there published
elementary- level language arts curricula (Grades 2 thru 6,
maybe) based on the workshop model? How are they working
out?

Any particular recommendations or dis-recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
