Why Partner with Education Elements

We have deep experience in student-centered learning, school design, leadership development, strategic planning, and change management.
We are expert facilitators, who engage diverse groups and bring in processes and protocols that drive collaboration, alignment, and action.
We are a responsive organization who is committed to planning for change nor perfection to ensure sustainability and impact despite changing conditions.
We customize our approach based on your unique needs, taking time to learn your context. We never bring in a one-size-fits-all solution.
We get results. We are one of the few education consulting companies that publishes an annual impact report showing how visions and plans translated into results at the district, school, and community level.

“Our work with Education Elements over the last four years has provided critical support for our district integration of personalized learning. This year we partnered with Education Elements to train our Administrative team in Responsive Practices work that will be a game changer for our district teams. Our relationship with Education Elements has led to innovative changes in our district that specifically prepared us for the COVID19 pandemic.”

Sam Brooks, Putnam County Schools Supervisor of Personalized Learning

“Kingsport City Schools is grateful to partner with Ed Elements in an endeavor to build leadership capacity with responsive practices. Namely, we worked together to deepen our understanding of the significant role habits should have in organizational and continuous improvement. This partnership provided fruitful outcomes for our leadership team with specific outcomes that strengthened our leadership evaluation process. More than one leader shared that "the work was fantastic and impactful". We look forward to partnering with Ed Elements as we continue to plan to deal with challenges associated with the impact of COVID on learning.”

Brian Cinnamon, Kingsport City Schools Chief Academic Officer - Secondary

Our Support for Reimagining Learning Loss

Through our conversations with districts across Tennessee, we are noticing a pattern emerge in how district leaders are anticipating how they will be leveraging their ESSER funds. Of the many changes that need to occur, there are common conditions appearing in each scenario from the way the district is casting a vision to how much energy they are putting towards a particular system. Learning loss will be an issue leaders will grapple with for years to come and we feel strongly that every district needs to consider where they are today and where they aspire to be in future years.
