Education Workforce & Systems

EDC strengthens education workforces and systems through research, professional development, program design, technical assistance, and use of data to drive improvement.

EDC partners with education leaders and teachers to transform learning outcomes. We specialize in building capacity to improve instruction, enhance student support, and ensure the effectiveness of schools. We provide partners with the evidence, tools, and strategies they need to make and sustain improvements.

To inform decision-making, we conduct rigorous research, evaluate programs, and provide coaching that prepares leaders and teachers to collect, analyze, and use data to address challenges and promote student success. To build a strong education workforce, we provide high-quality, on-the-job learning opportunities that fit the needs and schedules of busy educators and leaders. 

A key part of our system-strengthening work is helping leaders ensure all youth are ready for the world of work. We revitalize traditional approaches by developing  innovative work-based learning programs, strengthening career-technical education, and helping create career pathways for young people.
