K12 Education/Teaching/Edtech AMA!

I’ve spent the last 8+ years teaching and supporting students in various educational settings (K12, Higher Ed) and using that expertise and perspective to build an educational learning product. Education advocates/innovators AMA! Understanding all the processes and stakeholders within the education system can be complex. Feel free to ask me anything about my journey as a finance guy turned teacher turned founder and all the opportunities and pitfalls when engaging with any stakeholder in the education system. I’m the founder of Edily Learning (we’re launching on Product Hunt soon on November 15th!)

In your view, which transferable skills from your teaching career do you believe have been valuable in your current role as the founder of Edily?

@tanya_jain4 In addition to the obvious stuff (understanding teacher perspective/pain points), I would say (1) soft skills: keeping everyone focused on a goal despite unplanned obstacles, and (2) curriculum development/backwards design lesson planning is helpful in shaping Edily's product features.
