“Bridges has impacted our students in several ways. The social interaction has really benefited our students. This is even more important to our ESL students that are not quite proficient in the English Language. In addition to the social interactions, exposing the kids to some skills that align with the PA Common Core Academic Standards has been an added bonus. […] What I witnessed was a high level of student engagement and rich discussions pertaining to the lesson that day. There was also a mutual level of respect developed between the Bridges Instructor and the classroom teacher which made the classes run very smoothly.”
