"Thank you for your professionalism, help, caring, and support. I really appreciate your priorities, your knowledge base, and your coaching 'style.' Your work has helped Fair Oaks better implement reading and ELD instruction. I look forward to all that we will collectively continue to accomplish next year."
– Patricia McRae, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction,

"Our reading scores have improved tremendously over the years with the assistance of CORE. From a school that was 'failing' to a school now in 'good standing,' we are now considered a 'beacon' school for reading. Many schools throughout our state have visited to see how we implement our reading program and interventions. Thank you, CORE!"
– Alvin Shima, Principal,
Kihei Elementary, HI
