Educator Feedback About EDI®
Learn about the positive impact EDI® has for administrators, teachers, and students.
Our EDI implementation is going really well. Lots of our staff were so impressed with your workshop and demonstrations in the school that they had renewed energy around EDI implementation.
EDI is very concrete. You can walk into a class and recognize it right away. It enables us to give much better feedback to teachers.
Even with all my training and experience, I still learned something new daily.
EDI was the impetus for all of the progress at Sanger Unified.
