"after initial reservations about the gravity of this work in the consortium model, i can't say enough about our positive experience with ed elements. ed elements' focus on the why behind such an enormous shift in instructional practice has helped gananda frame our work, communicate our rationale, secure teacher buy-in and most importantly provide students with voice and choice. they provided me with the structure, resources, and support necessary to turn this work around in the district and increase student empowerment."
