Community Service LearningEDDY guides several interactive programs that teach children and their parents how to become involved in transforming their schools and the surrounding school community. EDDY conducts parent and children seminars in an effort to alleviate some of the barriers parents face when attempting to enhance their child's academic training. Seminars are structured to strengthen the relationship between students' home and school cultures. In particular, the activities are designed to increase the critical thinking, advocacy and child-parent relationships. Professional Learning and DevelopmentThe professional learning and development services of Eddy are geared towards the development of educators in formal and informal settings primarily in the areas of mathematics and leadership education. Eddy professional development services are provided by professional educators and consultants via workshops, in-house training sessions and one-on-one consulting relationships. Instructional design and delivery training is presented with a primary focus on technology and culturally-responsive pedagogy. EDDY also works with districts and school in developing customized programs and workshops in mathematics and literacy based on the need of the district or school. For example, Eddy will work with schools to design mathematics education professional learning that is aligned with the existing culture of the school. Strategic PlanningEDDY helps organizations develop strategic plans and processes that are easily executed and have a direct impact on the daily operations of their schools. Eddy's model for strategic planning provides direction, energy and motivation to the school or school district. The Eddy model consists of seven to nine phases that help to guide school leaders to align the vision, mission, cultural context and values of a school or school district with daily operations. The model ensures that processes provide easy-to-follow criteria for making day-to-day decisions. The scope of the school direction and major strategies to support that direction are well-defined using a SMART (Strategic, Measurable, Aligned, Results-Oriented, Targeted) approach. Strategy alignment is used to help individuals throughout the educational structure determine their role in supporting the goals and objectives of their organization. Program DevelopmentEDDY works with schools and schools districts to create customized programs starting with an examination of the cultural context of the school environment and continuing through the design and development of services to support needs such as professional learning for teachers, monitoring implementation procedures, and evaluating of the program results. For example, EDDY may work with clients to customize a comprehensive mathematical learning model to be implemented in schools that focus on improved student performance. Education devoted to youth serves as the guiding lamp for program development toward academic excellence for all students. EDDY program development uses concepts of Total Quality Management in its approach to improvement. Research & EvaluationEDDY supports schools and school districts with quantitative and qualitative analysis in research and evaluation. EDDY analyzes educational approaches, programs and processes to understand their effects on students, teachers, faculty, administrators and the community. EDDY also assists schools and school districts in establishing sound data analysis procedures, as a part of an evaluation process, to drive change toward increased student performance. Inquiry models are used to tap into educational functions and decision-making processes. EDDY develops survey items, interview plans, cost analysis methods and other procedures that education organizations can use to monitor the success of educational programs or reform efforts. Research and evaluation services are customized to meet the needs of schools, school districts or other educational organizations. Techniques include interviews, observation, creation of survey instruments, statistical and measurement approaches, examination of academic performance measures and administration and reporting of results. |
