I'm An Admin

  • The Problem: Most districts try to fix reading gaps with more phonics (output), but SESEBA targets the “Input Problem”- Teacher-Child Interaction.
  • The Value: Acting as an “Instructional Force Multiplier,” SESEBA scales quality support without needing to add specialized staff during critical shortages.
  • Automatic Compliance: Simplified reporting and documentation for Title III accountability and funding requirements.
  • Strategic Professional Development: Facilitated workshops are available for admins and teachers to support your team through every stage of SESEBA implementation and data review. Available on-site or virtually.
