Company Summary
TeachersConnect is an online network that gives teachers a safe place to ask their most urgent questions--even embarrassing ones--and get answers from a trusted network of peers, mentors, and experts. As teachers use the network, we develop and monetize tight relationships with classroom teachers and data about what drives teachers and what's blocking their success. Our customers feel the pain of the $2.2BN annual problem of teacher turnover.
