About Edu-Best

Inspired by results. Driven by data.

Welcome to Edu-Best. We're a team of Alberta educators building practical, evidence-based resources that help teachers diagnose reading comprehension, respond with the right instruction, and improve outcomes for every learner.

What we believe

Improving reading comprehension changes everything

Reading comprehension underpins every subject in school. When students learn to read deeply, the rest of their learning follows.

Inspired by Results

Every resource we build starts with a teacher's question and ends with measurable impact in the classroom.

Driven by Data

We use rich, classroom-tested assessment data to inform what we create — and to help teachers act with confidence.

Built with Educators

Our resources are co-developed with practising Alberta teachers, school leaders, and district partners.

For Every Learner

We design for the full range of student needs — from struggling readers to advanced learners — across K–12.

Brigitta Goerres

"Every learner deserves the chance to reach their highest level of achievement — and every teacher deserves the resources to help them get there."

Brigitta has been involved in education for over 35 years, starting her career as a classroom teacher immediately after graduating from the University of Alberta. Her professional journey led her to the Alberta Ministry of Education, then to a decade as executive director of curriculum at a major educational publisher — developing both print and digital study tools for students, teachers, and parents.

After completing her graduate studies in Curriculum Studies at the University of Alberta, Brigitta worked with assessment companies across North America and Europe, broadening her expertise in formative assessment and reading comprehension.

She has authored 15 resources focused on reading comprehension success and conducts professional development for teachers at every level. The Classroom Ready series represents the culmination of her experience. Working in partnership with educators and school districts, Brigitta developed RCAT — a platform for formative reading comprehension assessment, reporting, and monitoring used in schools across Alberta.
