The Ed Group is the school improvement company sustaining results-driven education across the Southeast , outpacing competitors with its individualized programming. The mission of the Ed Group is to enhance a school community's capacity in preparing children for success. To fulfill this mission, the Ed Group believes four vital factors should work together to yield successful results.
School Leadership - strength
Strong leadership, the key to developing a school's capacity for improvement, must ensure schools employ four critical research-driven elements:
• Guaranteed curriculum (Marzano)
• Increased student academic learning rates
• Improved school climate
• Frequently monitored student achievement.
Through the coaching of a school improvement facilitator who works side-by-side with school staff throughout the year, the Ed Group team provides a variety of specialized services to levy resources to meet the needs of a school.
Standards-Based Instruction - systems
Schools must implement proven instructional systems with 100 percent alignment to state frameworks and assessment programs. Job-embedded staff development and supporting documents that follow state assessment formats ensure that classroom teachers receive relevant assistance for meeting instructional challenges.
Professional Development - growth
With topics ranging from A ppropriate Individual Education Plan (IEP) Development to Teacher Expectations for Student Achievement (TESA) , the Ed Group team can deliver timely, relevant training for teachers and administrators to help them grow as educators in an ever-changing world.
Accountability - success
Successful schools do not ignore the demands of state and federal accountability requirements. Through the assistance of specialists in Academic Review and Analysis , Facility Planning , Federal Programs , Career And Technical Education , Intervention Services, Special Education , and other specialized services , school leaders can fully meet the needs of all learners while improving the schoolwide program.
