SchoolSight — Insight for education

About

Hi, I'm Brent Hollers.

School technology director, teacher, and the person behind SchoolSight.

Why I built SchoolSight

I'm a director of technology at a school in Atlanta, GA, where I lead all of the school's technology. That seat gives me a front-row view of how much effort goes into keeping teaching aligned with the standards: pacing guides in one file, lesson plans in another, and no easy way for a principal or a parent to see how a class is actually progressing.

I built SchoolSight to close that gap. Teachers plan from the standards and check off what they teach. Administrators see where every class stands against its own plan. Parents get a clear, timely update instead of a surprise at conferences.

I'm also a parent of elementary students, so I see the other side of the pacing guide at the kitchen table. I want families to understand what is being taught and how they can help.

Background

My work has always sat where education and technology meet. I hold a Ph.D. in Workforce Education and Development, an M.S. in Data Science, a Postgraduate Certificate in Cloud Architecture from UT Austin, and a B.S. in Accounting. In practice that means I can talk curriculum with teachers, budgets with administrators, and infrastructure with engineers, and I try to build software that respects all three conversations.

Today I run school technology end to end, from networks and identity to the cloud systems that automate school operations, and I teach as well: SQL, AP Computer Science A and Python, among other classes, plus graduate and doctoral-level courses at the collegiate level.
