Stop Snorkeling and Start Scuba Diving!

Working with a curriculum group today … the ILC (Instructional Literacy Council)… wrapping our minds around common core, literacy, writing, etc. The comment was made that we need to stop snorkeling and start scuba diving. I like that analogy when we are talking about curriculum. We need to take the arm floaties and snorkels off and really dive deep into our curriculum. We need to do less, and take that less and dive deeper. But can our staff let go of those “frivolous” favorites and zero in on those key items? I think the point is - we must!
