In partnership with school districts, teachers and teacher prep programs across the country, TeachersConnect is laying the groundwork to ensure a world in which teaching is never a solo activity and "teacher prep" stays with teachers for the entirety of their careers.
TeachersConnect is an in-person and online network that gives new K-12 teachers a safe place to ask their most pressing questions—even the embarrassing ones—and get answers from a trusted network of peers, mentors, and experts who understand the real-world classroom challenges. TeachersConnect also creates a way for teacher prep programs to build deep, lasting relationships with their graduates and to gather the data they need to meet new standards and improve their courses swiftly and purposefully.
We're seeking innovative teacher prep programs to shape the new future of teacher induction. Send a note to dave@teachersconnect.us if you want to learn more.
TeachersConnect is a 2015 MassChallenge finalist and a LearnLaunch Accelerator company.

Our paid coaching program helps students stay on track when prepping for the SAT and ACT. All of our coaches have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT or ACT. They monitor each students progress daily and meet with them weekly via video chat to help them get the most out of their test prep so theyre confident on test day.
