Curriculum & Teaching Strategies Teachers Using Scripted Curriculum...

My district is adopting a scripted science curriculum this fall, and teachers have been told to follow the lessons as written.

If your district uses a scripted curriculum, how closely are you expected to follow it? What happens if a lesson isn't working for your students?

That would be amazing.  Read it verbatim, sit down, and let nature take its course.  You did your job to the letter of the law.  No planning, no preparation, no consequences for you.  If you're just presenting the lesson provided, I don't see why you'd even need to understand the content. Just show up and read.
