About Us

We help schools see where students are in their learning right now, using everyday student work.

At gotLearning, we believe in the power of qualitative data to unlock student potential and transform educational outcomes.

Educators and technologists, in that order.

gotLearning was born from a simple observation: schools collect enormous amounts of qualitative student work, but lack the tools to meaningfully analyze it at scale.

We built LearningPulse to bridge that gap, transforming rich, complex student work into actionable insights without sacrificing the nuance that makes qualitative assessment so valuable. Our team combines expertise in education, artificial intelligence, and data science to create tools that respect both the art and science of teaching.
