It looks interesting. I hope your superintendent gives you some options for working with students on it. I found
this link that gave me a nice overview. And I found out it was used in my kids' district in one of the struggling elementary schools in 2009-2010. I don't know if it was continued or not. Maybe you can find some stats to back up the effectiveness to help bolster your stance. When I looked up reviews, I saw several reports that might be useful!
