Interview With a Teacher - Pedro Chapa

"My first experience with Neuhaus happened around 2006. I took Reading Readiness. It was very different from other professional development I have received. They didn’t just tell us about theory, they gave examples of what it looks like in the classroom. They provided materials. They provided lessons. They provided a scope and sequence. I was very impressed by that," said Pedro Chapa, teacher in Houston ISD.
