Jordan Meranus and Teddy Rice have devoted their careers to education. Jordan has been a teacher and entrepreneur, and Teddy has funded great organizations and worked in publishing. Both have focused primarily on how innovation can make a difference for our nation’s underserved and struggling students.

Through their work they learned more about the rapidly increasing number of English learners in US schools, the wide and persistent achievement gap between EL students and their native speaking peers, and the strain experienced by teachers and school districts. They listened to educators across the country who shared their struggles and their hopes for the students they serve.

Jordan and Teddy were distressed by the lack of solutions for educators, and saw a clear need for innovation focused on English learners. They envisioned a solution that would help educators and school districts address their unique challenges, and a company that would serve the EL community with passion and enthusiasm equal to that of the dedicated educators that have devoted their careers to the work with English learners. That's when they met Carrie Hill.
