In our work all over the world, we've made friends with a lot of teachers who've done some incredible things with the Essential Fluencies. They're called our GDCF Success Stories, and we're proud to have them available for viewing. Each one tells a story of a teacher or group of teachers who made a difference in their classrooms, and in their students' lives, teaching with the Fluencies.
We've shared many of these inspiring stories already, and we're proud to announce the list is growing. Here are some brand new GDCF success stories for you to explore.
