TEACHER FEEDBACK…

“I think that I know these students better in the short 15 days than all last school year because I had the TIME to actually talk to them about their interests and get to know them. I am in LOVE with SRA because I feel like a teacher again! SRA created an opportunity for me to let loose and set free all the creative and engaging opportunities students love. I feel that not having such strict requirements of the children allows them to be children and NOT data-producing machines.” – Ms. Gennifer Caven
