• About Us

Catalyst:Ed and The Learning Accelerator are partnering to bring support to leaders in the field of education to implement their bold visions for innovative learning.

In The Learning Accelerator (TLA) and Catalyst:Ed’s respective work with education leaders and professional service providers we’ve learned that access to quality external consultants and supports can be a common, critical component to success. But finding the right provider at the right time can be tricky. On one hand, leaders struggle to find specific partners in the professional service sector to complement and supplement their internal expertise and resources. On the other hand, providers spend a lot of time and energy seeking clients that best fit their capabilities, capacity, and interests. On both sides, the community lacks mechanisms for sharing knowledge and finding open source tools and resources to build from. This means the work can remain costly for both schools and the providers they bring in to help.
Catalyst:Ed is a national nonprofit that unlocks the collective expertise in the education sector to help organizations innovate, excel and scale. We inform and connect education leaders – the change makers – with the top management and talent they need for their short-term, mission-critical needs. In the process, we democratize access to expertise, amplifying the impact of the sector’s brightest talent and redefining the limits of organizational capacity.
Catalyst:Ed’s Expert Hubs offer intentional supports and connections to leaders who want to start or advance their work in high-impact areas like innovative learning and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
