~The Elementary Level of the Styer-Fitzgerald Functional Academics Program was released July 2010, joining the Secondary Curriculum, released in July 2009. Schools in major metropolitan areas as well as in small districts are now using it in multiple classrooms. Non-traditional programs are also using it. The University of Washington and the University of Oregon have purchased it for evaluation and integration into education programs. (For more information on places using the Curriculum, click here.)

~Advocacy for use of the Styer-Fitzgerald Functional Academics Program is often coming first from classroom teachers or others most involved with students. Based on their professional expertise and experience, they share that they’ve recognized the Curriculum’s breadth and usability from seeing it in action during a visit to a classroom using the Styer-Fitzgerald Program, or via the website description, or by trying it out for themselves using the comprehensive Sample downloads.

~ Future Releases: The authors are currently working on making the often requested peer tutor program and classroom organization materials ready for publication with late summer 2011 the target date for release. A classroom tested Transitional Program is also in process and a Program for students with severe disabilities is being developed.
