Testimonials
“Cambridge Learning Group’s validation of our work was critical in defending it against critics that believed we would not be successful with our goal to deploy and operate a statewide portfolio infrastructure — we were! I will always be grateful for their work on helping to define our ‘lifelong and lifewide’ eFolioMinnesota program.”
“Darren has a rare combination of intellectual vision, political agility, and managerial facility. Equally comfortable on stage or working in the background, he draws on a diverse network to build teams with the ideal mix of talent for each project he leads and to rally support across the field. His collaborative leadership style and deep educational wisdom makes working with him a joy and always results in a high quality outcome. ”
“Cambridge Learning Group is helmed by a thoughtful and innovative education leader. But he also has experience in software development. This combination results in a distinctive ability to translate ideas from theory/research into practical requirements and design recommendations. The firm is an asset to a range of stakeholders, including businesses, edtech developers, and educators.”
