In 1986, the Stratford Foundation Inc. was formed with the goal of becoming a valuable educational resource for the community. This ambition was realized in 1988 when Stratford opened the Commonwealth Learning Center, in Needham MA, and began providing 1-to-1 academic support to individuals of all ages. In 1992, Stratford established the Professional Training Institute, which offers research-based, in-person professional development programs designed to help teachers and specialists meet the needs of students who require systematic and multisensory learning approaches. But as we entered the 21st century, our world became interconnected like never before. Stratford realized the importance of moving beyond their backyard to reach educators across the country that struggle to engage in rigorous professional development under demanding schedules. And thus, in 2010, CLOI, the Commonwealth Learning Online Institute, was formed. The industry learning curve was steep. Presentation of online content required tools and knowledge unlike teaching in a brick and mortar style. CLOI’s course development began by teaming with an educational organization already vetted in the industry. This organization partnered with us to create our first six core reading facilitated courses. Once these initial courses were developed, the search began for university partners to offer graduate credit for our clients. Gordon College came on board, and in 2012 our first six courses went public.

If your child is having difficulty in school, it may be because they’re receiving instruction with an approach that’s not tailored to them. CLC can accurately diagnose and assess learning difficulties and help students with ADHD, dyslexia, and more. Contact our Needham office today for a complimentary initial consultation.

The Professional Training Institute also offers Massachusetts Professional Development Plan credits (PDPs) for educators who want to continue their educations. In addition, our teacher training programs are accepted as a way to earn graduate credits for teachers who are just starting their careers.
