REVIEWS

Don’t just take it from us

See what educators have to say about the Lenses instructional model.

“When you plan tasks, activities, and questions that require kids to think, they will take to it, and they will think.”

-Kiri Soares, Principal

"My students learned a lot [...] They were able to discuss these issues, the good and the bad. The conversation just kept growing and growing, and questions were being asked, and people were disagreeing with one another, and the conversation itself is another skill [they developed].”

 

-Sara Ballute, 10th Grade Teacher


-Patricia Mitchell, Principal

“This does the kind of thing that we've wanted to happen in all classes, and that is to move students through a process towards sifting the information and then use it to support their own assertions.”

 

-Gary McCormick, Literacy Design Collaborative partner
