The Hub

EdChanger was born from my 20+ years in education as a teacher, instructional coach, conflict resolution specialist, and systems coach—roles that still keep me in the classroom teaching lessons. These experiences have reinforced two crucial truths: schools are so diverse that no single solution will work—we need a system; and despite the challenges in education, the incredible work I've seen from educators in classrooms and schools proves that our system is not broken, but full of potential.

Our youth are our most valuable resource because they are our hope for the future. Students spend about 80% of their school day in the classroom, and our education system exists to support their learning and growth. It only makes sense to invest deeply in creating a coherent system of learning interactions in our classrooms.

One of the best parts of my job is working with incredible educators—paraeducators, teachers, counselors, specialists, and administrators—who care deeply about their students and communities. Despite the challenges in education, so many amazing things are happening in our schools. But this deep commitment often leads us to constantly searching for new tools and initiatives, sometimes unintentionally creating systems that range from disjointed to chaotic.

In response to these challenges, schools invest heavily in professional development—hiring consultants, attending conferences, purchasing books, and participating in endless training sessions. Yet, despite these efforts, it remains difficult to measure the real impact of these investments, and the sense of crisis in education persists.

This is where EdChanger comes in. Our mission of scaling and sustaining instructional systems is built on 20 years of love, frustration, research, and hope as an educator. We've developed a simple, coherent, accessible system that ensures all educators, not just a select few, have the tools they need to grow. Our revolutionary approach to instructional coaching empowers educators as agents of their own learning, recognizing that they are the true experts of their students' needs.

Every teacher deserves the support of a coherent system that allows them to serve their students and communities with confidence, clarity, and impact.

At EdChanger, we've developed a revolutionary approach to instruction, leveraging data and analytics alongside high-quality resources to support teachers. Our instructional system consists of eight key practices developed through years of research, studying instructional frameworks, and some support from AI.

As with any system, these practices create optimal learning conditions. For example, a classroom with strong routines and expectations but no positive interactions may be orderly but feel cold. Each practice plays a critical role.

At EdChanger, our approach uses data and analytics to provide clear, measurable feedback for growth that allows educators to maintain their creativity by being agents of their learning. Based on research and evidence, we suggest the following data points as optimal:

To support teachers experiencing these benchmarks, we've developed an app with interactive tools—that we call games—for each practice. The games measure these data points and send the data to the teacher, along with suggested benchmarks and targeted resources.

At EdChanger, our mission is simple: supporting teachers in supporting the students and communities they care so much about.

A memorable line I heard at a conference was, "Repeating is not the same as creating." When I'm handed a lesson plan and told to teach it, it doesn't feel the same as when I create something myself. Creating instruction is different from simply replicating it, and that distinction matters.

Our app helps by providing teachers with collected data and targeted resources, delivered straight to their email, so they can analyze and reflect on their own schedule. The objective data points allow teachers to assess their instruction using key performance indicators and explore strategies that best support their students.

Our One-Page HUB of resources is designed to be simple, organized, and comprehensive. It includes:

Our goal is to create a simple and thorough system that is accessible to all and ensures a logical next step for any situation.

At EdChanger, we deeply value educators and the critical role they play in our society. It's time to move beyond quick fixes and initiative fatigue and focus on building lasting systems of support.
