As the coordinator of the webinars here at Scientific Learning, I am excited to announce our February webinar schedule!
Our webinarsthis month focus on three important topics: early childhood development, funding sources for K-12 schools, and how educators can ensure that students are maximally benefitting from the time they spend reading.
