Leadership

“We are the go-to shop for federal, state, and local educators who want help with a variety of issues, all ultimately relating to the quality of student-teacher interactions. We are assessment geeks who care about instruction. We are policy wonks who care about practice. And we get along with everyone.”

Ellen Forte, Ph.D.
edCount CEO & Chief Scientist
