Why isn’t there a separate section in the Core Knowledge Sequence for special areas such as Physical Education, Foreign Language, Technology, or Drama?
We value all teachers and all areas of education, but our focus is on the “core academic content” areas. Not including a specific sequence for subjects such as Physical Education, Foreign Language, Technology or Drama does not mean we do not value these areas; quite the opposite is true. However, a number of factors, including limited human and financial resources, have led us to concentrate on core academic areas, particularly those leading to the development of true reading comprehension.
