"As school systems nationwide sign multimillion-dollar contracts with universities and educational companies to save struggling schools, Educational Development Associates signs individual schools at a fraction of the cost and often produced immediate results using its innovative program ACALETICS."

"Mr. Bell,
I am at a Harvard course and I am in a workshop right now regarding Efficacy. While I have always had that belief, it has been you and Ms. Laurent who help me communicate my belief and drive with others. Thank you for helping me. There are not many of you out there to help…. The children deserve it. Thank you!"

"Good Morning, I just received my box of goodies and I wanted to thank you for it! I am so excited to do this program with my son. We already started the first book and he's very into it so I know he will enjoy the rest of it. My class is very into the program as well. They are having fun with it which makes it so much easier for me... We are extremely appreciative of everything you have done to help us implement this program into our classrooms. Thank you again and looking forward to seeing you on your next visit!! Have a great day!!"

"I began using the ACALETICS supplemental curriculum in 2007 while working in Gadsden County. The FCAT math scores during my years in Gadsden County went up dramatically showing extraordinary growth. In 2010 I relocated to the Middle East and taught at the intermediate grade levels. I most definitely used the strategies, the hooks, and the unique repetition that ACALETICS provides. By winter break my students had exceeded grade level expectations in several areas and the Head of Faculty/Asst. Principal began to observe my classes. By the end of the school year, the EMSA results (External Measure of Student Achievement) were beyond expectations! I have since returned to the U.S. and I am teaching in Wakulla County, Fl. I have used ACALETICS for seven years with great success and look forward to the same success this year.”

"I really like Quik-Piks because they are fun and they get me ready for the FCAT and help me to feel prepared. I like how they have similar problems over and over again to help me remember how to do them and get really good at them. For example, even before our class started learning about fractions in our math book, I had already learned a lot about fractions because we had been doing them in Quik-Piks. They're great!" ☺

"The staff and I feel the new comprehensive component helped our students achieve success on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). There is no other program that comes close to teaching and reinforcing the higher order thinking skills that children must acquire in order to meet the challenges of today's society."

"It's a year since we adopted the Educational Development Services, Inc. Program and I must now add my name to the testimonial list of satisfied clients of EDA. We're very proud of our decision to implement the EDA Program as it was very therapeutic for us. When we combined your recommended strategies, periodic assessments, our textbooks, and the CBC competencies, we had a winning combination..."
