Education Opens Doors, Inc.

Background & Purpose of Education Opens Doors: 

EOD believes that when doors open, lives change. The EOD Program equips students with the relevant knowledge and 21st century skills they need to realize their full college and career potential. To achieve this goal, the EOD Program partners with schools and other student-centered programs to reach middle school students (ages 12-15) from a diverse range of backgrounds - including those living in low-income households, urban city centers or rural communities and often students who are prospective future first-generation college attendees.

The EOD Program utilizes the train-the-trainer model to equip teachers with the tools they need to effectively increase expectations, motivation, and college and career knowledge in their classrooms. Ultimately, we are closing the guidance gap for students, turning 31 minutes of post secondary and career guidance into over 1200 minutes.

In the past year, EOD has invested in our curriculum and digital learning opportunities to elevate our program offerings. The 11th Edition of our curriculum is TEKS aligned, student centered and includes additional extended and digital learning opportunities. Our program is meant for all students, and has a flexible implementation model to make that possible. While other programs are meant for students at the top or students in the middle, the Foundations Program is founded on the belief that all students have limitless potential, and we ensure that our students are aware of the multitude of opportunities available to them. We then support our students in choosing the best option for their unique path, ensuring students possess the skills and support to achieve their best fit.
