We're on a Mission to Transform Education Analytics
At gotLearning, we believe in the power of qualitative data to unlock student potential and transform educational outcomes.
Who We Are
gotLearning was born from a simple observation: schools collect enormous amounts of qualitative student work, but lack the tools to meaningfully analyze it at scale.
Founded by educators and technologists, we've built LearningPulse to bridge this gap, creating a platform that transforms rich, complex student work into actionable insights without sacrificing the nuance that makes qualitative assessment so valuable.
Our team combines expertise in education, artificial intelligence, and data science to create tools that respect both the art and science of teaching.
Meet Our Team
We're a diverse group of educators, technologists, and innovators united by our passion for improving education through thoughtful technology.
