Dear DoDEA Educators,

Welcome to Scholastic RED!

We are pleased to continue our DoDEA/Scholastic RED Partnership for the 2008-2009 school year. Scholastic RED is an online professional development program which offers courses on literacy instruction for teachers of all grade levels. Scholastic RED courses offer you the flexibility to learn new skills, access hundreds of classroom resources, and practice instructional strategies at times convenient for you. Scholastic RED courses are aligned to DoDEA standards.

Please contact your principal for more information about registering for a Scholastic RED course.
