By Teachers, For Teachers
Eduaide.Ai was created by two public school teachers who saw large language models as tools to eliminate teacher burnout and democratize access to high-quality teaching resources. To aid us in this mission, we assembled an advisory board that holds our team accountable to our founding principles, best instructional practices, and teachers everywhere.
Eduaide.Ai Advisory Board
Dr. Marnie Stockman
Co-founder of Lifecycle Insights, Advisory board member for start-ups
Dr. Marnie Stockman, Ed.D., started her career with the toughest customers of all… high school math students. Her passion for education and using data and humor to help others grow and succeed took her from the classroom to Sr. Director of Customer Success of a leading Ed Tech company, and now Co-Founder and former CEO of Lifecycle Insights. With her default setting locked on “smiles,” she aims to create raving fans for Lifecycle Insights and build and advise start-ups to scale their way to success. Marnie is a lifelong learner having earned her B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in Secondary Education, her Masters in Education around curriculum development, and her Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership. When she isn't walking, working, and writing books on leadership, she can be found playing volleyball or golf with her husband and two 20-something kids.
