The School Collective
Abstract
While working for Teach for America, Alyson Goodner witnessed the lack of quality, differentiated professional development opportunities for educators and school leaders, in addition to the lack of best practice and resource sharing betweenPhiladelphia schools. She was inspired to develop a tool that would help break down the silos and encourage the sharing of lesson plans, professional development experiences and other items to improve the city’s schools. While she had experience working in the education field, she recognizedthat she was lacking the quantitative background to develop the tool and business she wanted. Goodner also knew she would need a partner with greater experience in the technology field to advance her idea. She met Sebastian Stoddart while both were enrolled at Oxford’s Saïd Business School, and they pursued the further development of what would become The School Collective after graduation.
