From a program director:

"I wanted to let you know that I just watched your overview of the CCR Math Standards, and was (again) so inspired! Thanks for putting your video out into the world, in the way you did."

Watch the video.

"It's about more than scoring well on a test, it's about being ready for college and career." 

Per Barbara Bradbury, Springfield Adult Learning Center at Springfield Technical Community College, about teaching students for success in their lives rather than for passing tests

"My students’ willingness to learn and work is amazing. It’s incredible how committed they are, despite the challenges of the pandemic. I am so proud of them!”

Sandra Ortiz, Lawrence Adult Learning Center

"DESE places such a strong emphasis on the three instructional shifts that I believe they require a special understanding of how to incorporate them into ESOL lessons in the best, most practical ways possible. I'm so grateful to have taken the Recipes course and it has definitely increased my understanding of the three key instructional shifts. … Thank you so much and again, I really got so much out of the course!"

Michelle Walch, participant in The Recipe for Success: The CCRSAE and Instructional Shifts for ELA

We are leading in extraordinary times, and we’re going to figure it out one day at a time.
