(a little lecturette, I'm a X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Status: O Content-Length: 909 Lines: 27 I know of a place where there is an official curriculum. There is also CASAS which is now driving the curriculum. Teachers are required to use a textbook which is on a list as a text that fits the curriculum. Although there are all these standards in place, I know that many teachers do not use a book and do not follow the curriculum. Some of these classes are extremely well run and some are horrible with low level teachers teaching strictly a grammar based class devoid of meaning. What I believe makes the difference in the class in "not the curriculum" but the teacher and their approach to learning. ===== Susan Gaer, Santa Ana College, School of Continuing Education 2900 W Edinger Ave Santa Ana, CA 92704 (714)564-5016 Fax: (714)434-7920 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
