A Note from the Founders
We are often asked how Class Catalyst came to be – and we love sharing our story. As parents and educators, we had been looking for a way to combine Carla’s extensive teaching and mindfulness experience with Rob’s technical know-how and penchant for solving problems with data. But, it didn’t really click until we discovered the massive gap between the need for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and benefits of implementation. No implementation = no change… and no impact on the students, educators, or world.
We knew it wasn’t for lack of trying on the part of administrators, educators, and families. With more on their plates than ever before, we wanted to create a tool combining support and insight that would seamlessly fit into an already-packed school day. We pushed ourselves to go beyond the standard SEL offering and build something truly interactive, informative and easy-to-implement, a tool that authentically engages student voices and builds impactful relationships between students and educators.
And, as with two kiddos at home, it’s personal for us, too. Class Catalyst is for them, and for all students, because every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. Thank you for joining us!
