Is it even possible to keep the kits at the levels they are, or are the standards so different that we will need new kits all together...?
How will teachers be trained in the new standards and for the new kits they will teach? Will we be offering new trainings?
Why can't science be valued like Math and ELA and be tested YEARLY for valuable MCAS data?

What if we see places where other content areas overlap?  I hear classroom teachers say they have no time for science.  What if we helped them see the science in their other content areas?

because the district overall remains in the 3-25% zone. I am interested in knowing how can we get in the 75-100% range...
