About Spalding Education International
SEI organizes Spalding courses through contracts with schools, districts, colleges and universities, and parent groups. SEI also publishes a quarterly newsletter The Spalding News, which provides instructional tips and reports on current research and SEI events. The success of The Spalding Method has, unfortunately, caused a number of imitators to purport to teach The Method or a simplified version of it. Although these entities might be using Spalding copyrighted materials including the textbook The Writing Road to Reading, they are not authorized by Spalding Education International to offer courses or materials based on The Spalding Method. Spalding Education International (SEI) was founded by Romalda Spalding, the author of The Writing Road to Reading, to preserve the integrity and the effectiveness of her Method. SEI accomplishes this through a rigorous training process culminating in Authorized Spalding Tutors, Spalding Certified Teachers and Spalding Certified Teacher Instructors. SEI cannot guarantee the course content or quality of instruction provided by others. To confirm that a course or workshop is authentic Spalding, we recommend calling the SEI office at 623-434-1204. |
