OK. The reason I asked is because you said that you were told that your strategies were not good because of the DIBELS test results. But you are required to use the core curriculum. So how can anyone say to you that YOUR strategies are not good if you are ALSO using the core curriculum and doing all these other things? Perhaps it is the core curriculum that is not good. There is no way to know, is there?
