What if the most powerful edtech tool you use every day... could do even more—and still cost absolutely nothing?
In this episode of AmpED to 11, Brett dives into the wildly popular ClassDojo platform with Dr. Chad Stevens, Head of Growth and Partnerships. If you're an educator or parent, odds are you've already tapped into the magic of ClassDojo's classroom connection tools. But what if we told you Dojo is no longer just for teachers?
Now, it's leveling up—big time. Chad gives us an inside look at how ClassDojo is evolving into a game-changing districtwide solution without losing its roots in teacher and family empowerment. With 45 million families across 180 countries using the platform and 90% of U.S. schools already plugged in, Dojo is doubling down on what works—by listening to educators and community leaders first.
Forget clunky rollouts, expensive licenses, and top-down mandates. ClassDojo for districts is built on what teachers and principals already love, then expands that ecosystem with free tools like district announcements, attendance-based alerts, voice calls, and even a whole new high school experience. And yes—it’s still 100% free.
It's not just about messaging. It’s about shifting power, unifying community, and giving every child an education they love.
