Our model, which began as a health care initiative is being used to tackle the greatest challenges in education. Your organization can use the ECHO Model to expand educators' expertise and help students close achievement gaps.
To support education-focused projects and initiatives, ECHO now offers an Introduction session targeted towards ECHO for Education programs. This virtual session is the first step in deciding whether the ECHO Model can work for your local needs and resources.
There is no cost to implement our model, and we provide training and support.
