Welcome

We provide laptops, workforce development, personal development, stipends, and virtual IT credential courses conducted by highly skilled and entertaining IT Credential Instructors to teach classes for our students, starting as early as age 13.  We utilize on-going data analysis to create individualized success for students by examining student progress through our management system and providing the appropriate resources that help our students succeed!  CompTIA A+ is the first of a series of virtual classes offered thru the attainment of a Cybersecurity credential.

PARENT POWER utilizes AI, Machine Learning, and Behavioral Science data to ensure that 

ALL STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING 

AT GRADE LEVEL! 

ALL STUDENTS CAN ACHIEVE GRADE LEVEL PROFICIENCY…

including English learners and students with special needs!  This notion should startle and provoke every educator, school leader, parent, and policymaker nationwide! 

Our team of educators and IT experts developed  PARENT POWER 

for parents to make it easy for parents to interact with schools and teachers.  PARENT POWER utilizes Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Behavioral Science to support grade-level student proficiency in reading and mathematics.  Increased parent engagement prepares students to experience more extraordinary career and college success.   

Most parents believe that their children are receiving grade-level instruction every day. However, many low-income students, English learners, students of color, and those with disabilities are far less likely to be given a chance to learn at grade level.  They typically are receiving instruction at levels below actual grade placement. 

Specifically, “The Opportunity Myth” finds that almost three-fourths of the time — 71% — students are doing the work that teachers give them, but less than a fifth of those assignments meet standards for college readiness.  

PARENT POWER'S behaviorally intelligent chatbots make it easy for students and parents to engage with teachers on the channels they prefer to use:  

• SMS TEXT MESSAGING • LIVE CHAT • WEBCHAT • SOCIAL MEDIA 

The ED-TECH Group, Inc. (ED-TECH) is a not-for-profit organization that provides information technology and workforce leadership training and IT credentials to close the digital divide and create career success with high-paying salaries with a critical focus on underachieving students. The President/Founder of ED-TECH and her team shifted our mission during the pandemic to focus on the primary task of building careers, not prisons for adjudicated youth and adults living in underserved communities and for those who are incarcerated. 

The company was formed in Virginia in 2010.  Our data management tools and services equip our team with vital statistics that analyze student and program success.  Our team has successfully analyzed the degree to which programs and students are achieving proficiency so that the appropriate resources can be leveraged to support individualized success.      

ED-TECH has provided educational programs in  IT consulting, technology services, and innovative technology-based programs in over 47 states, including Guam, Bermuda, and Ghana. In 2022, Union Bank awarded a grant to  ED-TECH to launch the first Virtual IT Credential Program in collaboration with the Long Beach City Prosecutor's Office as a Court Diversion Program.  The Indiana State Board of Education recently awarded ED-TECH a state contract to lead efforts to design and successfully deliver Innovation Network Schools and Transformation School Zones. The Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources awarded ED-TECH a state contract to provide education and technology training for court-involved youth.  The State of Rhode Island also awarded a state contract to ED-TECH from the Department of Human Services to develop an information and referral technology resource for seniors, adults with disabilities, families, and caregivers for programs and services that promote their independence and preserve their dignity.
