 Poyner Teacher Testimonials:

“I’ve seen overall that this curriculum fits students will all different needs.  The students who are consistently low achieving tend to understand better because everything is hands on!  The students who are consistently high achieving are challenged by having to clearly explain their work and being able to solve problems in multiple ways!  It’s hard to show this to parents sometimes because there is so much that goes into the student’s work before they ever write anything down.  There is so much questioning that goes on while the students are working and modeling that cannot be caputred on paper.”    – Poyner First Grade Teacher
