District Leaders

It has been a very pleasant experience with fantastic communication and organization.
Maryann Bennetti, Supervisor of Curriculum & Instruction, Fairview Public Schools

I have never before worked with a company that focuses on such wonderful customer service and collaboration. The collaboration between IRD and the school district stands as the hallmark of the IRD program’s efficacy.

Lauren Steflik, Bensalem Township School District

We noticed differences in students, but I also noticed changes in the staff after the IRD Program. Our staff saw how reading chapter books with the kids helped with their engagement; I’m seeing more of our staff reading chapter books with the kids now.

Spring Thomas, Expanded Programs Manager, Norris School District

I loved that this program offered hands-on, in-person instruction. Engagement is much different when you’re in person, and I noticed such a difference with kids.

Spring Thomas, Expanded Programs Manager, Norris School District

We have had several parents call to express their thanks for allowing their student(s) to participate in the Program. Many parents ask to have their students continue in the program once a session has been completed.

Tania Salinas, Director of Continuous Improvement, State and Federal Programs, Tracy Unified School District

We were able to provide a much-needed Intervention Program to our families, without placing additional strain on our already over-taxed staff. We were able to provide the services to a great number of students – many more than we could have served as a District- and we saw improved student outcomes.

Tania Salinas, Director of Continuous Improvement, State and Federal Programs, Tracy Unified School District

With ease, accuracy, and speed, IRD takes a HUGE, labor-intensive task off the shoulders of already stressed and exhausted District personnel, all to the benefit of our students and families.
