With an NIE classroom subscription, you gain access to more than 20 curriculum supplements that are specially designed and correlated for the needs of Virginia students and teachers. With a full-school-year subscription (40 weeks), you may choose five of these supplements for your class. With partial-school-year subscriptions, you may choose two.
How They Work
