About Eduphoria!
Eduphoria! was started with the belief that educators are heroes. Our purpose is to provide educators what they need to become superheroes. By bringing together assessment, curriculum, and professional growth for those closest to the student, educators can gain awareness, make thoughtful changes, and help students thrive.
Our supportive, family-like environment extends to the educators we work with, allowing us to collaborate effectively. We believe in creating a culture where everyone is learning, teaching, and growing.
We Believe
We believe in creating an environment where everyone can learn, teach, and thrive. We want everyone on the team to continually improve themselves and also help others to improve.
We think designers should have all the tools they need to do their best work. We believe technology can be used to improve students' and teachers' lives.
We want designers who have a bias for action, take pride in their craft and love collaborating with others.

This allows me to grow my skill set to not only better serve myself professionally, but to better serve my teammates that require something from ME to do their job.
