Testimonials

Don’t just take it from us

Why do teachers love Destinations Library?

"I had a professional goal coming into the year to bring in more texts to build my free voluntary reading library, but after navigating the series, I was pleasantly surprised with the bountiful amount of readers already available to my students.”

 

-Rebecca Martiniello, Austin Prep

"iCulture selections address the most current events and my students are able to relate well to them. And the editable activities allow me to use the same input (basic or advanced) but different activities based on level, making my job of planning a whole lot easier!"

 

-Leslie Wilson, Jesuit High School

“I love the videos and the listening activities in iCulture. These are extremely helpful and key in learning a language. You have to be able to listen to a native speaker and apply it. So when the student gets to hear someone other than me speaking in their native language, it helps them with the pronunciation, and I just reinforce it.”

-Faidhelene Derenoncourt, Columbus City Public Schools
