Education , Inc. Information

The Education Company is a professional development service provider working with public, private, and charter schools in the K12 school sector. The Education Company works directly with school administrators, teachers, and support staff to solve the most pressing discipline challenges in schools today. The Education Company was founded over 30 years ago by Bert and Betty Jo Simmons. Bert and Betty Jo started the company with the desire to help school administrators find workable solutions to allow teachers to teach without the distractions of school discipline and student disruptions. Bert and Betty Jo's belief was that successful discipline solutions could be identified, researched, and implemented within schools, but only through the knowledge, training, and experience of former and active schools administrators, who have firsthand experience dealing with these difficult and challenging problems. Bert and Betty Jo also believed that for true change to happen, you had to be willing to get your hands dirty working with each school leadership team, one-on-one with administrations, teachers and staff, all to gain a full understanding of their discipline problems. This, they believed, was the only way to be able to really help each individual school client, as well as insure that Bert, Betty Jo, and their team of trainers would always be dealing with the most current discipline problems that their client schools were facing...not a discourse from a textbook. Through the years, Bert, Betty Jo, and members of the team have had the privilege to work with over 2,800 schools in rural, urban and suburban school districts, helping them find workable solutions to their most pressing discipline concerns.
