 * NAME AND COMMENT ON "CORE BELIEFS" DOCUMENT:**

To achieve a natural order of the Core Beliefs, I propose that they be re-numbered as follows:

1 becomes 2 2 becomes 3 3 becomes 4 4 becomes 8 5 becomes 7 6 becomes 9 7 becomes 5 8 becomes 1 9 becomes 12 10 becomes 11 11 becomes 10 12 becomes 6

MY RATIONALE: The movement from expectations to the priority of reading/writing/conversation every day to what is read to the joy to methodology to assessment

Suggested by Kathie Lewis I feel number 3, which talks about the teacher being the most important influence, instead of a program, shouldn't be stated. It may be taken the wrong way. We have already stated what good teaching needs to happen in the classroom. Patti
