EDC approaches middle school reform from many angles and in many fields of work.

Classroom Materials
We collaborate with teachers and students to design curricular materials that foster academically rigorous, inquiry-based learning in many disciplines including mathematics, science, and health.

Professional Development
Our professional development programs provide teachers with ongoing educational opportunities by joining study in the content areas with effective instructional strategies. We support teachers as they become better mentors, coaches, and learners.
