Trustees To Discuss Core Knowledge
A Coeur d'Alene School District workshop is scheduled this afternoon to discuss the Core Knowledge program. In late January, the Press reported the following:
"The push to consider Core Knowledge in Coeur d'Alene schools came from Brent Regan, the district's newest trustee. He suggested Tuesday that they encourage teachers throughout the district and beyond, who are familiar with Core Knowledge, to come together to brainstorm. Regan said he agreed it's important that the decision whether to put the program in place at Borah be based on whether teachers like the program and want to use it." More here.
The agenda includes two speakers. Nicole Olson and Gene Malvino. Nicole Olson is one of the signers of the recently filed district grievance. She uses Core Knowledge with her children in a home school setting and is familiar with the program. Gene Malvino has taught international business and recently spoke in front of the Panhandle Pachyderms on "Radical Islam in America". More here.
