Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.

I created Instructional Support Services, Inc. and I.S.S. Publications in April of 1983 to provide resources and instructional programs to educators, counselors, parents and the general public.

Our mission is to provide practical, helpful and meaningful information –as well as inspiration, encouragement and hope– in areas related to relationship building, effective instruction and guidance, and personal development.

We are continually grateful for opportunities to serve those whose goals include improving their own lives as well as the lives of children and other adults.

If you had it to do over again, would you still go into teaching?

How does teaching get easier after the first year?

I wish someone had told me this (about teaching)...
