A Coherent Approach to Education
The Core Knowledge Foundation, aware that disadvantaged children's biggest disadvantage is their impoverished vocabularies and general knowledge, has developed an excellent sequence of specific knowledge for grades K-8. This sequence is currently being followed in more than 1000 schools - to wonderful effect. Yesterday, the foundation made its Core Knowledge Sequence available on-line free of charge.
And, à propos of yesterday's posting, this is an excellent curriculum - even though it costs nothing.
