• I'm writing you a note to tell you how much the
  special education case managers at Robert Farrell
  School appreciate your searchable standards site.
  We write student IEPs every week and having the
  searchable standards makes it so easy to fit a
  student's individualized needs to the
  benchmarks. Thank you from Us,

  students had been successful in completing the
  assigned project.
• Almost 3/4 of teachers felt that all students had
  been successful in completing the assigned
  project.
• Over 80 felt that students had found more
  information than in the past and over 90 felt it
  was more relevant information.
• Nearly 80 felt that overall the quality of the
  work by students had improved.

• What Makes Us Different
• COOLSchool believes in face-to-face education and
  complements local offerings to motivated
  students. We do not offer a diploma nor do we
  intend to replace face-to-face learning in high
  schools or home schools.
• Every word of every lesson of every course is
  open for your careful inspection. COOLSchool
  courses are never hidden behind passwords or
  firewalls.
• COOLSchool courses are "handmade" and uniquely
  attractive. Many distance learning providers use
  a cookie cutter template to shorten course
  development time.
• Teacher interaction and challenging pedagogic
  design are hallmarks of COOLSchool courses.
