What Educators Are Saying
“I read Dr. Iris Ponte and Dr. Lisa Kuh’s Complementary Curriculum Approach book and took the online modules in preparation for teaching this school year. Reviewing the materials in a module format truly reminded me of the groundbreaking work and thoughtfulness put into CCA. It also helped me be more intentional with how I integrate CCA into all of my work!”
