THE DIRTY DETAILS
What is eduCrate®?
eduCrate is the first professional learning-based subscription box service ever!
Based on years of facilitating professional learning, our team of eduConsultants curate best practices, student-friendly content, instructional strategies, and other materials that reflect our values for RIPE (research-based, innovative, practical, and engaging) professional learning.
Additionally, it is an eduConsulting Firm product, so each box is customized for the subscriber and loaded with a myriad of master teacher tips, instructional guides, lesson plan ideas, templates, strategies, samples, and yes!—all kinds of extras, including eduSwag that make implementing the suggested best practices even more fun and effective!
How is the eduCrate designed?
Each eduCrate, regardless of type, is packed with pre-vetted mystery resources that meet the following criteria:
-
Professional: This featured resource focuses on improving the subscriber’s professional growth.
