CAST has already taken giant leaps in this direction. By partnering with Scholastic Inc., CAST has helped to bring Wiggleworks, an important new accessible reading program, to schools all over the country. Its intense work with teachers and parents at local Head Start programs and the Boston Public Schools has enhanced the promise of the future of these institutions. And CAST's National Laboratory for Universal Curriculum represents a place of innovation where a core team and a network of experts can collaborate on new ideas about education, diversity, and technology. By joining forces with professionals in the community, CAST can dramatically widen the circle of innovation within the context of orderly growth.
Partnerships are one way to manage that potential.
As CAST's sphere of influence grows, so too will the dreams of its innovative members. I am proud to be a part of helping them reach their goals. Read other comments in the forums .
