The best part of working at edCount is the opportunity to collaborate with coworkers who are hardworking, dedicated, supportive, and believe all students deserve a high-quality education.

The best thing about edCount is the people—the staff, the clients, the partners. I am surrounded by committed, passionate individuals who aim to find meaningful, sustainable ways to improve the lives of educators and students.

In keeping with the criterion of least dangerous assumption, through the opportunities that I have to work with education agencies, partners, and organizations, and my edCount colleagues, I assume that in the absence of conclusive data, the educational decisions we make should be based on assumptions that will have the least dangerous effect on the educational opportunities for ALL students. I presume ALL students are competent and able to learn and strive to ensure that this belief is reflected in my actions and words.

For ten years, I have been part of the edCount team—a small but mighty group of educators that know the value of integrity, diversity, teamwork, grace, and commitment as we strive for excellence in all aspects of our work. It is our values that connect and motivate us to produce innovative approaches and resources that aim to improve the quality and accessibility of education for all students.

I’ve been with edCount for over ten years and I am continually impressed with the steadfast dedication our staff possess to create high quality materials and processes that align with our vision and values including, most importantly, the continuous improvement of the quality and accessibility of education for all students.
