Areas of Expertise

Research shows that teachers are the single most important factor in raising student achievement. ERG uses modern and innovative staff development to sharpen teacher skills. By strategically planning a long term project with schools, ERG is able to embed content across the project so it can not only be understood, but applied in classrooms.

ERG is dedicated to modern and innovative staff development that focuses on the job-embedded coaching process. No substitutes are needed! Continuing our tradition of support, we have designed topics for schools and districts to help with the transition into Common Core State Standards and the Essentials.

In order to be productive and measurable, all projects have a specific focus.  The following list includes possibilities:
