Why educators choose IBD
“So one thing that IBD does really, really well is it takes the burden off of the teacher… and it really lets the students facilitate their own learning. I don’t feel like IBD is busy work, because there aren’t worksheets that they do in my class.”
Sarah Noble
ELA Teacher, Alameda Unified School District, California
“…the independent reading focus has created a ripple effect…creating demand for more books for kids. I see a number of teachers investing in their classroom libraries. When I visit classrooms, I see every kid with an independent reading book at their desk!”
Carissa Flemming
Language Arts Coach, Hillsboro School District, Oregon
“It was rated highest in terms of cultural responsiveness…instructional supports for staff …(and) its inquiry-based approach really speaks to what we hear from our students – they want their voice to be the center of the classroom.”
Caleb Perkins
Executive Director of College and Career Readiness for Seattle Public Schools, Washington
