Wake County MVP Parent Page

OBSERVATION: MVP curriculum provides no documented math resources for Wake County students other than the MVP problem workbooks. AND, in order for MVP to "work" it must be experienced in groups of students sitting next to one another, grappling with a problem, and facilitated by a teacher who ideally has received 2-5 days of professional development.

CORONAVIRUS OBSERVATION: Now, take that situation and apply it to schools which are now cancelling the semester, some of which are switching to online education. No documented math resources from MVP. Schools must create math resources from scratch or revive prior teacher materials or buy another curriculum. No working in groups. No parent facilitation. No parent professional development.

Let's look at MVP's lack of response about how their curriculum can be used during this crisis:

• Company website: https://www.mathematicsvisionproject.org/ (nothing)

• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MVPmath/ (nothing)

• Twitter (if you're not blocked): https://twitter.com/MVPmath (nothing)

No one could have predicted this virus' impact to education, but we definitely predicted that having NO DOCUMENTED math resources and relying on facilitation would ultimately lead to failure. I hate to say we told ya' so, but... WE TOLD YA' SO.
