“Ms. Debrah and the E3 team provide lead to measurable academic and behavioral outcomes. She is invaluable.”
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Ms. Debrah in various roles. In each instance, I have found Ms. Debrah to be inspiring, innovative, and highly influential. As a school leader, she provided me with explicit coaching on developing high-quality teams that work collaboratively to meet the unique and diverse needs of all students by developing a system and structures for providing multi-tiered academic and behavioral support. This included data deep dives, problem-solving, and root cause analysis utilizing the ICEL x RIOT Matrix. Ms. Debrah has led administrators, MTSS, and Instructional Leadership Teams in working collaboratively to create and utilize protocols that ensure consistency, progress monitoring, and maintaining a student outcome-centered approach. The knowledge, support, and expertise Ms. Debrah and the E3 team provide lead to measurable academic and behavioral outcomes. She is invaluable.

Joyce Debrah has been at the forefront of academic and social changes in the fields of Social Emotional Learning and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. The structures she implements for creating change in schools and Districts, specifically those color, as evidenced by the academic success we have seen in the data at the end of our school year. I am very confident of Joyce's ability to transform lives through MTSS/SEL, as she has done great work in the Chicago Public School System and District 162 in the South Suburbs of Chicago.

“The level of participation she inspired was remarkable—my group had a dynamic discussion about the academic supports we provide in our schools.”
I had the privilege of hearing Joyce Debrah speak at the April 2024 School Leaders Meeting, hosted by the Chicago Public Schools’ Office of Innovation & Incubation. Her presentation on the Multi-Tiered System of Supports was both insightful and impactful, offering practical strategies to enhance scholar achievement. She delivered her message with energy and enthusiasm, making the session both engaging and enlightening. The level of participation she inspired was remarkable—my group had a dynamic discussion about the academic supports we provide in our schools. Immediately upon returning to my school, I spoke with my principal about establishing a partnership with E3, knowing the depth of knowledge and support Joyce Debrah could bring to our educators and students.
