“I have really enjoyed being
in ERF project this year. The intensive trainings offered
through ERF which included videos, class trainings and written
resource materials have really helped me understand and implement
different ways to enhance my curriculum in all content areas.”
“One thing that has been of particular value is seeing
how valuable it is to use visual supports in my classroom.
They not only allow the children to predict what will happen
during the day, they also help them to learn how to monitor
their own behavior.”
“ERF has also provided enhancements to my classroom
environment. They help set up a classroom library, provided
a wide variety of new books, provided computers and educational
software, literacy kits and much, much more!”
“The one-on-one coaching has also been a valuable tool
to help me evaluate and modify my teaching as I am implementing
read-alouds, shared readings and shared writings.”

“One of the most important skills I have gained is
how to use formal and informal assessment to plan my curriculum.
As an ECEAP teacher, we have several assessments we need to
conduct on children and at times it can seem tedious. ERF
has made it evident to me that assessment supports curriculum
and is very important when I am looking at the children as
a whole or individually. Doing a variety of assessments helps
me know where each child is so I can plan curriculum that
will help them achieve the goals I have established for them."
“I have always been challenged by wanting to teach
to much information to the children at one time and in the
past this has overwhelmed me and the children. ERF’s
Heads-up Reading training on ‘Learning the Code’
Helped me choose very specific strategies to focus on, that
when learned, create a strong foundation for reading and writing.”
