EdisonLearning’s Framework for Learning and Teaching (EFLT)



EdisonLearning provides educational curricula to over 150,000 students around the globe and offers professional development for teachers and administrators. The company employs a rapid track growth model, the EdisonLearning Framework for Learning and Teaching (EFLT), to help teachers develop the necessary skills to best assist their students with learning.

After assessing over 1,000 teacher evaluations using the EFLT model, EdisonLearning determined a need for improving teacher quality. The evaluations demonstrated that new and developing teachers struggled to help students learn efficiently by connecting meaning and knowledge, and often failed to utilize specific tools for building mental connections.

To assist teachers with helping their students meet their learning goals, the company’s achievement team singled out the most significant learning objectives and subsequently designed structured thinking-based videos to address these objectives. Used in combination with the organization’s project-based learning curriculum, these videos clarify the relationship between meaning and knowledge for students while also serving as a valuable coaching tool for teachers striving to improve the quality of their teaching.
