How 4 Chicago tech companies are working to overcome challenges in education
Summary
One of the biggest challenges in education is adapting teaching strategies and course materials to suit the learning styles and skill levels of the learner. ThinkCERCA provides schools with standards-aligned, adapted lessons and assessments that help learners with a diversity of backgrounds and skill levels become ready to read and write in college and their future careers. “We are a whole school solution, versus an app for students or teachers alone,” said CEO Eileen Murphy (pictured above with co-founder Abby Ross on her left at the 2015 Moxie Awards). “In addition to helping improve grades, my one-on-one interaction with students greatly increased their confidence and eagerness to learn.” However, Geant found the traditional ways that people connect with tutors — message boards, ads and word of mouth — inefficient, labor intensive and inadequate. “However, in this rush to push out new products and capture market share, consumers of edtech whether they are the district, school, teacher, parent or student are now overwhelmed by choice.” Have a tip for us or know of a company that deserves coverage?
