Educator-in-Residence

Classroom wisdom for EdTech excellence

In a market saturated with educational technology, nothing replaces the insights of those who will actually use your product every day. The gap between developer intentions and classroom realities can make or break your EdTech solution. Our Educator-in-Residence program bridges this critical divide by embedding experienced teaching professionals directly into your product development cycle.

From theory to practice: the teacher’s perspective

Unlike executive-level feedback, our Educator-in-Residence service provides ground-level insights from master teachers who have successfully integrated technology into their instruction and understand what truly works in diverse classroom settings.

We offer practical guidance for:

  • Product teams seeking authentic user feedback before costly development phases

  • UX designers working to simplify educator workflows and reduce learning curves

  • Content developers aligning materials with curriculum standards and teaching practices

  • Marketing teams crafting messaging that resonates with real classroom practitioners

“I cannot imagine navigating the challenges of being a new principal without my Solutionary coach. Over the year, I grew tremendously and felt secure sharing the realities I faced. The experience was so impactful that I asked my Superintendent for a second year of coaching!”
