The TeachersConnect Story
TeachersConnect is the culmination of a teacher’s mission to provide teachers everywhere with the tools for success, growth, and a lasting career in teaching. Dave Meyers, CEO and Co-founder of TeachersConnect, began his 25 years in K-12 education as an elementary and middle school teacher, until his success in teaching writing led him to a career of experimentation with educational technology tools.
The TeachersConnect team he brought together is a collection of teachers and ed-tech leaders focused on the unshakable belief that teachers possess the passion, experience, and skills to drive student success. TeachersConnect creates communities and tools to ensure that teacher preparation extends well beyond graduation.
Our Mission for Education
TeachersConnect exists to forge an unprecedented link between teacher preparation programs and their new-teacher graduates. Our aim is to uncover and share the data and insights that allow teacher prep programs to understand their strengths, identify their weaknesses, and make evidence-based changes to their curricula.
Every public school teacher in the US gets a license at one of the nation’s teacher preparation programs. When the prep programs have the data to adapt to the expressed needs of their graduates, teachers gain confidence, skill, and power—and the US education system surges.
