Welcome
GRAZDA CENTER exists to help every educator and student fulfill their potential in life through experiencing the transformative power of literacy and the arts.
We are in a new phase of education. More than ever, educators are challenged with professional development mandates, suboptimal teaching environments, and demands for student achievement without adequate support.
When you work with GRAZDA CENTER, you experience:
- high-quality targeted professional development based on specific educator and student needs, not a ‘one size fits all’ program
- the four essentials of learning for people of all ages: time, choice, feedback and community; you are respected as a skilled educator and learner
- confidence in using new powerful and flexible tools in your teaching repertoire that are easy to incorporate into present teaching, not ‘one more thing’
- rapid and lasting progress in students’ literacy
- a positive shift in student engagement and attitudes towards learning
Imagine your students being able to read well and understand everything they are reading.
Imagine children who attend school every day, enjoy thinking and learning, and feel connected to each other.
Imagine teachers possessing deep understanding, knowledge, and skills to help all students make gains more quickly and effectively.
GRAZDA CENTER for Literacy and the Arts can help you and your colleagues address the root causes of challenges through expert analysis and exemplary research-based professional development. Offerings can be customized for any group of educators.
Parents/guardians of individual children in need of help with reading are also encouraged to call or email.
