Frog Street Curriculum!!! Some of you have been very vocal when it comes to the Frog Street Curriculum...some like it, some don't, some feel like it's tooooo much work while others could care less as long as their children are making gains!!!

My challenge to you is to tell me 2 and 2!!! 2 positives and 2 negatives!! Is there a catch??? Of course there's a catch! With the 2 negatives tell me how could you make it work better. Someone else may have the same concern.

Remember in order for any curriculum to work with implementation fidelity you as teachers and assistants have to ensure that the curriculum is used with "consistency, frequency, and intensity to ensure a child's mastery of a skill (Wolery, 2005). 

If a child is not progressing as planned, it can be helpful for teachers to examine exactly how teaching was implemented in order to improve the effectiveness of instruction (Luze & Peterson, 2004).

Now it's your turn...let me hear what you are thinking! Deadline for this post is Friday 2:00 p.m.

Happy blogging!!!
