Announcements

EDC has appointed Lauren Klein as its new director of communications.

We at EDC mourn the loss of Mike Laflin—friend and colleague—who died on May 19 after a short illness.

Richard Fournier, EdD, has rejoined EDC as the partnership director for EDC Ventures.

EDC has been awarded a contract from the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services (DYS) to conduct the first evaluation in over a decade of the educational services provided to young people detained in or committed to the Commonwealth’s juvenile justice facilities. 

Two separate rigorous studies found that children from low-income households who were given MOLLY OF DENALI videos, digital games, and activities were better able to solve problems using informational text.

EDC has been selected by the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to support the Madagascar Ministry of National Education (MEN) in producing radio programs for primary, middle, high school, and technical classes.
