You enjoy sharing and educating families face to face, but when it’s time to actually market your school to the masses, you feel overwhelmed. You’re bombarded with all sorts of questions, such as: Should I try marketing my school with Facebook ads?

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

Echoing wider soul searching over technology’s polarizing role in politics and society, the education technology scene has been doing its own reckoning. As the bubbly enthusiasm in the democratizing power of platforms like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and Khan Academy quietly wanes, we’ve seen more attention to digital inequity like the homework gap and gender discrimination in coding careers.
