Hi- Ashley and Chelsea here. We are two former teachers who met while working at the New Jersey Department of Education. We are working to provide great educators with information and opportunities that didn't exist for us when we were classroom teachers. We are passionate about providing opportunities for great teachers to participate in educational decision-making, access to other excellent educators and sharing opportunities that will keep great educators in the classroom. We are now working to better connect educators to opportunities, information, other educators and more through Knowtion. Knowtion is a transformational education platform that connects all education professionals across the education industry together, with the community and content they need to more equitably serve students. This is why it matters: A disconnected workforce is an inequitable workforce. When pockets of educators are privy to leading policy, research, and professional opportunities that others are not, professionals, and inherently students, are being served inequitably. Educators who serve our under-resourced school populations need on-demand quality resources and solutions, but due to the realities of serving a higher-need student population, have less time to find them. Novice teachers and educators of color have high attrition rates. Networks have been shown to reduce this problem. The teacher candidate pool has been declining for a decade. The need to attract and retain teachers is critical. We built this platform because all education professionals deserve a place to connect, learn and grow with each other and now we need your help. Knowtion completed its closed Beta testing with 350 users and now we know that for Knowtion to support all education professionals, we need to strengthen the foundational architecture and functionality. Please help us achieve this goal. We need your help. Knowtion is free to all education professionals. Every dollar helps and when you donate, do it in honor of that one teacher that made you who you are today.
