Online Curriculum Rave Reviews

“If you haven’t invested in the CCFCS online curriculum you are missing the opportunity to give your students a technology-rich and rigorous curriculum. The online program is easy to use and has a tremendous amount of ready-to-use slide presentations and handouts. I would never have had the time to research all the relevant web sites that are referenced or hyperlinked while trying to implement our new courses. For me – a huge bang for my buck.” Sharon Pelzel, Aubrey High School

"I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the online curriculum on a very regular basis. I have found the lessons to be interesting and thorough. I like that the handouts and materials are ready to print and use. It's very convenient to have power points especially for my students who have modifications and need to listen and view the info and not write it down." Linda Corbell, Del Rio High School

“The new curriculum is a life saver, I love it. I can find exactly what I need.” - Jill Acklen, Rio Vista ISD

"My Child Development students are really enjoying the new online curriculum. The video showing the fertilization process and following development of the baby fascinated my students. They asked to watch it several times to really understand the process and responded with questions and the desire to learn even more. My Principles of Education & Training students crafted One-Room Schoolhouses for their semester project after researching these schools. They responded well to their new-found knowledge and re-created what they learned with their hands-on project. Thanks so much for all your hard work in developing this curriculum - it is great!
- Karla Bevel, Bridgeport High School
