Online Learning Engineers (consultant)
About Us
Each year in the U.S., we invest at least $18B on K12 professional learning – with little to show for it. Too much is low quality, poorly aligned with strategic priorities, and produces limited or no evidence of effectiveness. This is not a new problem. We simply must do better.
edsUP, PBC – a venture originally launched and incubated out of 2Revolutions LLC – is working to solve this problem at scale by enabling a new way to upskill America’s educators. Working with best-in-class expert providers, we’re building the online infrastructure to deliver efficient and equitable access to the best professional learning content in a new form: modular, adaptive, competency-based, and credit-bearing. We are on our way to building the Netflix for classroom teachers filled with high-quality learning experiences on the most important topics.
The edsUP team is small, mighty, and growing. We’re seeking new colleagues who are genuinely curious, driven, and passionate about helping us build toward edsUP’s ambitious vision.
