Katherine Goyette and Adam Juarez, a married EdTech couple from rural Central California, are committed to building the confidence and capacity of educators to design innovative and effective learning experiences for students. They regularly speak and lead workshops across the nation to inspire educators to think past the app, leading with learning rather than tech.
