About EdProDesign

  • Our Philosophy

    Developing 21st Century Learners begins with teachers who think critically, design creatively, and deliver equitable learning experiences. We support dedicated professionals -– teachers, literacy and content coaches, and administrators -– in reaping the rewards of their efforts by designing instruction that makes explicit the connection between rigorous unit outcomes and the daily instruction necessary for success.

  • Achievement Depends on Quality Instruction

    Our units are a model of quality first instruction for teachers and build teacher capacity in thinking critically about how to create units that contain essential elements for student success. Whether experienced or new to the classroom, teachers who implement these units find refinement and greater clarity in their planning and increased student achievement.
