| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 was a post-pandemic-rebuilding-year that saw innumerable processes re-engineered within the greater education market in the United States. Some districts opened their doors so that students could return for full-time, in-person instruction. Other districts adopted hybrid environments which kept teleconferencing and learning management systems as integral to their blended approaches. In light of these changes, our accomplishments emphasized facilitating this new era of education by providing consulting in the areas of recommending new technologies and professional development alternatives. While the loss of learning in 2020 was abysmal, our impact made positive contributions to 2021s renewed emphasis on education improvement strategies. Unfortunately, the pandemic is an on-going scourge to avoid; a malaise that continues to impinge on education as we know it. For this reason, creative improvement processes and technologies will be necessary in 2022 and beyond. Accordingly, our support will continue to emphasize augmenting positive student outcomes by helping to close the learning gaps that educators grapple with on a day-to-day basis. | - | $36,172 |
