to use it. They have now backed down to we can just use the
scope and sequence not the actual lessons. After trying CSCOPE
for 2 months I mostly don't use it. Their lessons can cover too
much material at once or too little. I have found the tests
don't always match the lessons. My students had difficulty
understanding what the lessons were asking for-- their reading
levels are a little low. I ended up rewording everything myself,
so I gave up on it and used some old curriculum I had from other
jobs. Also it assumes your students are on grade level, it
doesn't have any review that I have seen and so for those who
are behind, it is not helpful.
The only pro of CSCOPE I am aware of is the vertical alighment
across subjects. But I too would run away from it completely if
I could....

.Pros? Haven't seen any
