WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING

I love the Clerc Center's resources and applied the shared reading strategies during my first year of teaching. Scaffolding and differentiated instruction created meaningful literacy lessons for diverse reading levels. This improved both my lesson planning and my students' success.

This was my first exposure to IEP practice. It was very informative and insightful.  I look forward to learning more and exploring its integration in our school.
