About Us
At edCognito, we believe every student deserves a choice-filled future—and every educator deserves the support to make that possible. Founded by Georgia Master Teacher and veteran instructional leader Tracer Gramm, edCognito is an educational consulting firm rooted in empathy, equity, and evidence.

Tracer with his wife Lauren Summers and their four children—his daily reminder of why great education matters.
We partner with schools and districts to reimagine what’s possible through tailored
curriculum design, targeted professional learning, and data-informed instructional
coaching—and we don’t just advise from the sidelines. We roll up our sleeves, model
best practices, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with educators to build real solutions
that stick.
Tracer's journey began in 2003 in the rural classrooms of Dooly County Schools, where
limited resources were met with an unshakable belief in student potential. His early
success led to Georgia’s Master Teacher recognition in 2006, earned after just three
years in the classroom. Tracer holds certification in Middle Grades Mathematics and
Educational Leadership, which has allowed him to serve across elementary, middle,
and high school settings, consistently delivering measurable growth—regardless of
zip code, race, or circumstance.
​
Tracer’s leadership is driven by a deep sense of purpose—anchored in faith, family,
and the belief that education is one of the most powerful tools for building a better
future. He understands that meaningful change happens not just through programs
and policies, but through relationships built on trust, shared vision, and a commitment
to doing what’s right for children.​
Over the past two decades, Tracer has:
-
Led student cohorts to 30%+ academic growth, using looping strategies to sustain momentum and motivation;
​ ​
-
Helped Mossy Creek Middle (Houston County Schools) rank among Georgia’s Top 25 middle schools in math performance while serving as their Math Support teacher;
​​
-
Guided two CSI schools in Dougherty County—MLK and Morningside Elementary— to rank #1 and #3 in the state for math growth during the 2023 Georgia Milestones;
​
-
Designed and implemented district-wide math units of study aligned to Georgia’s newest K–12 Math Standards;
​
-
And supported hundreds of schools across Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana as a curriculum and instruction specialist and educational technology consultant.
From rural classrooms to district boardrooms, Tracer’s impact is fueled by a deep commitment to building safe, achievement-focused environments, developing sustainable systems, and empowering educators through live modeling and ongoing coaching—especially in schools where 60% or more of teachers serve under charter-waiver status.
