More than just a seal of approval |

Educational Underwriters, Incorporated is committed to helping schools first and foremost. In order to do that effectively, we have learned that we must help vendors navigate No Child Left Behind and the Scientifically Based Research mandate. Research Portfolio Review and Maintenance Our services are based on your company’s gross sales and the number of products which we review. The research for each product is compiled and maintained within a research portfolio which is reviewed and updated annually. Your entire body of evidence is evaluated according to NCLB standards and rated on a simple scale — satisfactory, excellent, or superior — which is easy for you and your clients to understand. All research is verified for authenticity, scholarship, and rigor. All researchers credentials are verified. All evidence is evaluated in simple, everyday terms and included as an appendix. Our companies commit to full disclosure and inspection of their research portfolio. Just imagine the impact of displaying the EdU Research Based seal on your products. Instead of explaining complicated research, your sales reps can focus on your products. EDU is a service, designed to help companies be successful in the face of NCLB. We cannot guarantee Research Based Certification, but we can guarantee you an honest evaluation of your research standing and a step-by-step plan of attack to reach NCLB compliance. We believe NCLB should help schools, not cripple companies committed to education. If you have no research for your product, EdU can help you through that process as well. University Affiliated Our collaboration with the K20 Center for Educational and Community Renewal provides you and your customers with peach of mind. We are committed to preserving the integrity of the educational research community. Based out of the University of Oklahoma, the K20 Center is a leading educational research group with world wide influence. Research Coordination, consultation, and management Only the largest educational vendors can afford an in-house research department. EdU membership includes full coordination and management of your research needs. We will help you understand NCLB and SBR and ensure that you have a clear and solid research plan. The EdU Commitment EdU is a commitment. We are committed to easing the burden on schools by providing a simple seal of approval for the products they use. We are committed to defending the integrity of educational research. Our members share these commitments. Our proceeds support school grants, research, and scholarships. Our vision is simple: A Seal of Approval for every educational product purchased by schools. Commit to that ideal and EdU is committed to you.
