Tutor spotlight for Casey Humpherys from Deerk Creek elementary, reading corps tutor. Favorite part of tutoring is every laugh, every smile, every little piece of growth I am able to see in each student. i wish everyone knew that we are here because we want to help, we've been trained to help, and we want to see students succeed.
This is a common view throughout the year as SEEC superintendents gather to discuss a variety of education topics and to receive SEEC organizational and programmatic updates. One of our favorite activities at SEEC is connecting with North Dakota administrators!
