WHY WE DO THIS WORK
Our Philosophy

EQUITY IN EDUCATION
Gadfly ECS believes in challenging the systemic inequities—such as discipline disparities, harmful policies, and lack of supportive resources that continue to harm children, who have traditionally
been marginalized.
PERSONAL COMMITMENT
Dr. Grafenreed's journey as a parent, educator, psychologist, and advocate fuels her dedication to disrupting inequities and creating systems where every child can thrive academically, behaviorally,
and emotionally.


SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
Students deserve educators who care for them, see their humanity, and prepare them for both academic and behavioral success. Educators deserve the support and partnership of parents and communities as they provide evidence-based instruction and care for all students.
