NEW! The Change Agent is Now Available in AUDIO!
Selected articles on a variety of themes are now available for students to listen to online. Research has shown that adult reading students need to hear text read aloud in order to improve their own reading. The Change Agent’s audios are set up so that students can focus on texts sentence by sentence, and can repeat audio clips that they need to hear again.
WELCOME!

"We are using the climate change issue for the third time in class this evening. We are exploring our "carbon footprint," how we can reduce energy, and be more energy conscious. As a result of these discussions, students opted to forego using styrofoam cups in class. A teacher bought cups at the local dollar store and students have begun washing them out at the end of break. Meanwhile, four of my students are writing for your next issue. They are sharing some great ideas!"
