Part 5 of Miss Fortune's exclusive Kaye Mentley's Steven Ingersoll sentencing testimony series.
Q. Are you familiar with a body of knowledge that we call IVL?
A. Yes.
Q. Is IVL a curriculum?
A. In my opinion I would not call it a curriculum. I would call it some teaching strategies, some styles to help certain students who are having difficulty in a traditional curriculum.
Q. Can you explain the difference between a curriculum and what IVL provides.
A. Well, a curriculum, like a purchased reading series, would be far more comprehensive, would give the teachers materials to teach from, lesson ideas, activities to do if a student hadn't mastered that particular lesson as well as extension activities to do if the student had mastered it, here are some things to do next.
Q. IVL was used at Grand Traverse Academy?
A. Yes.
