Ed Directions - School Improvement

Texas School Improvement Partnerships

Professional Development, Leadership Coaching, Content Coaching, Climate/Curriculum Audits, and General Academic Consulting

Ed Directions is a mid-sized educational consulting company celebrating over 20 years of service to educators. Since our founding, we have developed several series of professional development initiatives, created computer systems to track and connect data, were granted patents on several educational processes to improve school performance, authored books on curriculum and school turnaround, and created an innovative student-focused approach for designing a successful school year.

Approved Purchasing Partner for these and other Texas School Districts

Our Services Include

Academic Consulting

An academic review is a snapshot review of a school/district in operation by a set of observers from outside the school – observers who have been trained to collect, organize, and interpret a variety of data streams.

Curricula Reviews

We have developed an approach to curricula reviews that emphasizes the student focus of the Ed Directions approach to student work.

Professional Development

Our main professional development series, The Rhythm of the Learner Year, is our most popular series, especially when supporting a school entering one of our intervention levels. In some cases, districts have needed additional professional development.

Our professional development courses are customized to meet the needs of the specific district or region with which we are working. There is no one-size-fits-all set of professional development sessions that we would use district-to-district or state-to-state.

Leadership Training

The Educational Directions team is made up of former principals, superintendents, and school leaders (many from Kentucky) that know what it takes to lead successful schools.  Let’s match our seasoned professionals up with your future school leadership, and give them the tools they need to be contributors to an awesome school culture, both for students and staff. 

Sessions will prepare participants with strategies to implement changes in culture, climate, work ethic, and data management.

Testimonials from Past Partnerships

The Educational Directions Impact

Within two years of beginning our work with Educational Directions our school was no longer in Turnaround status and our school grade improved 149 points. Our work with Educational Directions not only helped us improve our school grade but guided us to create sustainable change within our school and develop a school culture focused on continuous improvement and growth for our students.
Britt Gross
Principal - Lake Alfred PolyTech Academy
My partnership with Educational Directions was an extraordinary experience during one of the most challenging opportunities of my professional career ... By partnering with Educational Directions our school experienced a complete turnaround. Our student learning gains, as measured by student test results, were the second highest in our district. Thus, ending our turnaround status with the state. In addition, the school has consistently maintained this improved status.
Julie Grice
Retired Principal - Florida

Our coaches average over 35 years of service to education and over 15 years of experience with Ed Directions.

As result, Ed Directions has perhaps the strongest staff of any educational company today. Our educators are passionate about education and helping schools, and the students always come first.

The size of our company and our team being made up of lifelong learners is incredibly important to the customization of data collection tools, the administration of a multi-year study, and the planning and corresponding professional development targeted directly from information gathered from the trend analysis.
