Pros
As a former educator and instructional coach, I was drawn to Goalbook's focus on supporting all students and the specific attention to improving instructional practice for all educators. I’ve been a District Success Manager for the past three years, where I support our partners as they implement Goalbook. One of my favorite parts of the role is strategizing with district leaders, helping them think through creative ways to solve instructional challenges, and then supporting them to execute their plan. I love interacting with our partners in person and traveling to deliver PD where I am able to see how beneficial our tool is for teachers around the country. As a company, I love the openness to feedback and growth. There is true dedication to leverage the unique experiences we all bring and to learn from one another. Things evolve and change constantly, which is a testament to the importance of awareness and reflection. In addition, the people that work at Goalbook are one of a kind - lunchtime and casual discussions are filled with humor and real talk.
Cons
Situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, building a diverse team is challenging. While we still have some work to do in this regard, Goalbook is committed to this work and understands the importance of our company reflecting the diversity in our schools.
