NEW YORK, NY — EDLIT, a pioneering platform uniting education leaders and EdTech innovators, is thrilled to announce its inaugural annual partnership with Hiveclass, a leader in 21st Century Physical Education and Wellness curriculum and technology. This collaboration, starting in 2024, will see Hiveclass hosting Virtual Learning Sessions with district education leaders across New York, California, and Texas.
Since launching November 2023, EDLIT has already partnered with equity-driven educational solutions focusing on physical education, early childhood literacy resources, online dual-enrollment courses, and STEAM curricula. This partnership with Hiveclass is a testament to EDLIT’s commitment to building a space for district education leaders to provide their insights and expertise to Ed-Tech innovators, ensuring the next generation of resources advance student outcomes and address the needs of today’s students and educators.
Joe Titus, CEO and Co-Founder of Hiveclass, states, “Our partnership with EDLIT is a
landmark moment for Hiveclass. It aligns perfectly with our goal to connect with leaders across all communities and support schools in need of innovative physical education solutions. We believe in empowering education leaders – this collaboration allows us to extend our reach significantly. EDLIT has the power to revolutionize the ways school leaders connect with innovative companies that aim to positively impact students and school communities.”
Brett Roer, EDLIT Co-Founder, a former high school principal in the Bronx with extensive
experience in Ed-Tech partnerships, shares his vision: “Joining forces with Hiveclass represents a critical step in our journey to foster authentic dialogue and insights from education leaders, ensuring that innovative and equity-driven solutions receive authentic feedback to provide the best resources possible to students and educators.”
Jacob Kantor, EDLIT Co-Founder, reflects on his personal journey as an English as a Second Language student in LAUSD public schools and his illustrious career in Ed-Tech: “I co-founded EDLIT to ensure that innovative education solutions, like those offered by Hiveclass, are accessible to students like I once was. This partnership is a promise to bring all stakeholders to the table to make a real difference in the lives of students and education leaders alike.”
A significant aspect of this partnership is the commitment to give back to the district leaders’ communities. 30% of the total partnership value will be directed to school districts or educational non-profit organizations, with the goal of founding or funding scholarships
for underrepresented communities on college campuses. This initiative underscores both
Hiveclass and EDLIT’s dedication to ensuring that they are aligning their mission with their
actions by providing opportunities for the students and communities they partner with.
