Thank you for joining me today for this workshop on implementing ReadingMath123ABC, an innovative, comprehensive curriculum your school district purchased for $250,000 based on one website’s positive review.

When ReadingMath123ABC’s 140 lessons are implemented with fidelity—that is, exactly as directed, like you are following a recipe for a soufflé—your students all will learn. Isn’t that incredible?
