Buyer--Be Informed
Noll, Brandi
Phi Delta Kappan, v98 n4 p60-65 Dec 2016-Jan 2017
On the basis of her experience with buying new curricular materials--specifically, for reading instruction and intervention--the author shares valuable lessons about how to make the most of such purchases. A program can be beneficial for some students but detrimental for others; programs should be presented to employees as tools to critique and adjust as needed, recognizing they may or may not contribute to success; and both teachers and students need to know exactly why they're using the program in the first place.
