@justinmarc2010 Yes, teaching in blocks take some pedagogical shifts but the time provides freedom to utilize powerful methods.

While market based #ctedreform advocates may have a different philosophical viewpoint its disingenuous to suggest profit is main motivation

@JenRoberts1 Why I would argue for "better pedagogical practice" rather than "shifts in instruction" Let us celebrate rather than criticize

The idea that educators didn't know to ask text dependent questions or use informational text just doesn't sit well with me. #ccss
