NEED Teacher Advisory Board
The NEED Teacher Advisory Board was created to assist NEED’s staff, Board of Directors, and participants in planning, evaluating and implementing curriculum, programs, and special projects. The group meets one-two times a year and works to maintain the objectivity and comprehensiveness of NEED curriculum and programs. The Teachers Advisory Board members are available to assist NEED teachers nationwide with questions, comments, and suggestions.
