The EdVantage team lends its knowledge and experience to educational
organizations who seek creative solutions to curricular or programmatic
challenges. Our consultants think beyond the textbooks, beyond the
standards, and beyond the jargon to create solutions that make teaching
and learning more rigorous, more effective, and more fun.
Here's what some education leaders are saying about our textbook evaluation service:
"We
have always needed but have never had an outside company able to do an
in-depth analysis of both content and instructional material.
With this analysis, districts can have full confidence that their
textbook review process will provide them with the best texts and, most
importantly, that the students will have the new skills and mastery of
the content to be successful."
-- David P. Connolly, former superintendent, East Greenwich Public Schools (RI)
"I
am confident that your independent, rigorous, and reliable evaluations
of textbooks and other instructional materials will save Aurora Public
Schools both time and money, and will ensure that we are providing our
teachers and students with the best materials on the market today."
-- Deborah Backus, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and
Instruction, Aurora Public Schools (CO)
"To
have an independent agency do all of the time-consuming work of
narrowing down the field of effective materials allows our teachers to
focus on what they are experts at doing: teaching our
children. You ... free up district personnel to spend valuable
time in the classroom."
-- Susan Dalton, Curriculum Coordinator, Littleton Public Schools (CO)
