About i2i
i2i For Teachers and child care workers
Our PreK-12th Grade i2i curriculum uses transitional times, brain break time, and other snippets of time to play the program games. Each game can be taught and played in under 3 minutes while giving children the opportunity to practice the aligned skills of life and learning, as defined by CASEL.org; communication and language skills as defined by CCSS and Florida B.E.S.T ELA standards; and WIDA standards for ELLs.
i2i KKIT Coaching
