Our product designs are based on research done at schools. Our product development process starts and ends by interviewing each constituency in schools (administrators, educators, students, and families) and creatively developing solutions that empower the school and parents. While this approach requires enormous amounts of time and energy, we feel it necessary to produce a world-class software platform with real impact on schools and students.
What busywork would you like to offload on Alma? What information helps you improve student performance – to whom, when, where and how should this information ideally be presented? What works well at your school? What was your most painful headache today, this week, this month? If you have any suggestions, let us know or, better yet, have a conversation with us.
Every day we make our platform, customer service, communications, and process better. Our software is never “done,” as we will keep further refining and developing. We will never stop pushing to better serve and communicate with our clients. As an organisation, we celebrate finding ways to get better and implementing those improvements.
That’s why we signed the Student Privacy Pledge, which is helping to safeguard student privacy regarding the collection, maintenance, and use of student personal information.
