Teacher Resources

Evidence-based educational software tools designed and developed by the CSLP are available without charge to the educational and academic community. For educational purposes, we ask that you please consult the CSLP's software users policies. For research purposes, we ask that you also please consult the CSLP's research user (author) policies.

CSLP tools are effective but only when they are wisely used. Professional development is important for everyone who plans to use the CSLP's tools.
