Join us for an Entrepreneur Breakthrough session on Wednesday, August 27 at 2 p.m. ET with two 2025 Milken-Penn GSE Education Business Plan Competition semifinalists—Karen (Stephan) Borchert from Alpaca and Maria H. Andersen from Socrait.
With 40% of teaching positions going unfilled and 14% of educators chronically absent, there has never been a more critical time to understand how to better support teachers. In this session, we'll explore innovative tools designed to check-in on teachers, lighten mental loads, and combat burnout. The key to teacher retention is teacher voice—and now, at a time when it's needed most, modern tools are amplifying those voices.
Entrepreneur Breakthroughs is a monthly convening that highlights breakthroughs emanating from Catalyst's EIR Office Hours. Typically held on the final Wednesday of each month, this 1-hour spotlight focuses on an entrepreneur's problem and creative solution that led to their breakthrough. Join us to share knowledge, spark collaboration, and celebrate grit in education innovation.
