Research Consulting
Transforming Educational Ecosystems. Creating Meaningful Impact.

Evidence-Informed, Impact-Driven
At Elle & Dan Consulting, we collaborate with a diverse ecosystem of educational stakeholders—including ministries of education, universities, international NGOs, and school systems—to deliver research, design, and capacity-building services that are both methodologically rigorous and contextually grounded in local realities and strategic priorities.
Curriculum & Program Design
We support national and regional curriculum reform, capability alignment with global goals, and instructional design across school, VET, and higher ed sectors.
Assessment & Learning Analytics
From formative to summative tools, we design fair, data-rich assessments and performance analytics that drive equity and track learner growth.
Teacher Training & Professional Development
We offer blended, competency-based training, along with expert-led workshops on feedback literacy, inclusive pedagogy, and curriculum unpacking.
Our team members have collaborated with research and development teams at the Australian Council for Educational Research, the International Baccalaureate Organisation, and the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), contributing to educational transformation across the UK, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.
As Insightful Partners, we integrate research excellence with human-centred design—developing scalable, locally responsive education solutions that promote equity, quality, and system-wide sustainability.
