Ideas

Because, “there will always be more good ideas than there is capacity to execute,” (The 4 Disciplines of Execution), at ARC we work collaboratively across divisions to refine/revise/re-prioritize the Product Development plan to meet the needs of our customers.


We are experimenting with this forum as a space for ARC teammates to share ideas.


Power Word Checks as sentences

From Lisa Speakman, admin, at SD 45 DuPage County / Villa Park:

Can I suggest the Power Word checks in English and Spanish be developed as sentences rather than word call lists. For MLLs, reading Power Words in isolation is meaningless and very confusing. Without a context, it may appear that the students cannot read and comprehend the words when in fact they may be able to do it in context. I feel like teachers new to ARC use the Power Word Checks as written and may be holding back MLLs in the process.

    Can you add sentences for the level phonics checks?
