Thanks Laura! - I have always felt that commercial products have removed the
"down to earth" nature of the content. Commercial products are too glossy
and clean, so that the nature of the environment and people the materials
are meant for is lost.
Hopefully we can get around the commercial issues by using authentic
materials from programs like yours and others that have responded to these
questions.

What do the rest of you all think?

Jon

I too feel that curricula are very broad-based frameworks.  Easily adaptable
to the families your program is working with.  If the materials are too
narrow in focus then likely they are more activities and lessons plans.

In our discussions and sharing of curricula, how do we avoid the commercial
issues?  And yet it appears from the amount of responses in recent weeks,
the interest is there.
