What is Quality Education?

The word education goes beyond simply “schooling.”


Education encompasses all methods of gaining knowledge and skills including formal, required learning in schools as well as what we learn informally from family, peers, hobbies, books, online sources, sports, and the like.

What is Quality Education?


  • Quality education

    is a process rather than an outcome, and acts as an apprenticeship for democracy; it considers students, teachers, environment, pedagogy, and assessment simultaneously, planning for supportive relational connections between and among each element.

  • Quality education

    is equitable, ensuring that each student gets what s/he needs with respect to who and where they are (gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location) and respect for where they want to go, and how they want to get there.

  • Quality education

    is multi-faceted and interdisciplinary whenever possible, rather than being chunked and siloed into separate subject areas. Quality education

When EdVisions speaks of quality education we are speaking of authentic learning. EdVisions believes that authentic learning captures each student’s unique identity, interests, aptitudes, strengths, and learning gaps. Learning to learn is a lifelong process as experiences broaden and minds expand. What happens in school is a small chunk of everyone’s life.

EdVisions believes that we must ensure that time in school is worthwhile, connected to life outside of school, and preparing and empowering learners to be happy, healthy, engaged and contributing members of a diverse society both now and in the future.

Because a whole lot of learning takes place outside of school, educators must help students to discover how to learn. Curriculum that springs from the whole child is expansive–helping students make connections between and among experiences and the different communities with which they engage.

Quality education considers and assesses the processes of learning as well as the knowledge and content. It is important to pay attention to not just “what” students know and are able to do, but also to their understanding of “how” they learned what they know, and “why” it is important. It is our aim to assist educators in developing lifelong learners.
