September 2006

Dear Readers - Welcome back for the 2006/2007 school year! We are excited to bring you the second edition of S.M.A.R.T. News. Our goal is to continue to share with our S.M.A.R.T. schools...over 215 across the country...a variety of articles to enhance learning readiness. MLRC mentors are out visiting schools now.   As they visit with you, we urge you to share with them your own testimony on what you see as working well in your schools and also specific information on gains made by individual children or entire classrooms so that we can spread the good news. We hope you enjoy this communication and welcome your comments and insights!  Nancy Farnham, MLRC Director
