"The Pathways to Proficient Reading: Secondary course is by far one of the best online or even in-person courses I have ever taken in my 25 years since becoming a teacher."
-Executive Director Montessori Del Mar Community School, CA
"The Pathways to Proficient Reading course that our staff participated in has been instrumental as they continue to grow their knowledge base around the science of reading and best practices in literacy instruction. The course reaffirmed the importance of strong literacy practices and helped solidify the 'why' behind our new curriculum adoption. The information, practices, strategies, and ideas they learned have transferred into classrooms and are having a direct impact on student learning."
