Professional development related to implementing high-quality assessments is a key outcome of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

The Print Tool Evaluation and Remediation Package and Print Tool Workshop can help you learn to evaluate and remediate the handwriting of all children from kindergarten through fourth grade. This assessment helps educators evaluate children early in their learning, monitor their progress, and provide appropriate remediation tools. Struggling children get back on track quickly and affordably.

Read a special Stimulus Edition of the Frog Jump Gazette newsletter to learn more about how to make your ARRA funds benefit your school, students, and teachers—now and in the years ahead.
