Look Who Came to Our Conference
“Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,” (Irving Berlin) There has never been a truer statement than this to use when describing Gail Boushey and Joan Moser! These real life sisters have collaborated with a common vision for teaching strategies/techniques throughout their careers. They are best known for The Daily 5 and The CAFÉ Book. "We want what every teacher wants: effective teaching methods that can adapt as things change, and to lead our children to a lifetime of learning." —Gail Boushey and Joan Moser |
