My Social Studies teacher in 8th grade was simply amazing. I have never seen a teacher connect with troubled kids better than this fella. Most of these kids would rarely go to class and flunk out of all of them, except his. He loved them and they loved him and all of them participated. A great teacher can have a positive impact on nearly all students.

My 5th grade teacher, Mr. Hanser, always comes to mind when thinking of teachers who made a lasting impact, but I’m grateful to have experienced many amazing teachers – many of whom inspired me during my 12 years as a Kindergarten teacher.

I have quickly found a community and group of people who support and push each other to be the best versions of themselves daily. I look forward to growing as both a person and professional here at GradeCam, surrounded by caring, passionate and knowledgable teammates. I feel fortunate to be part of the GradeCam Team!

My high school history and psychology teachers both made a conscious effort to see their students as individuals. They took the time to listen to us, get to know us, and they ultimately inspired me to become a teacher myself.

GradeCam is the BEST company to work for! The people make the company, and I have the privilege of working with some of the most dedicated, passionate, creative, and hard-working people I’ve ever encountered. It’s evident that the customer experience is a priority at every level from our CEO to our developers, product team, sales team, marketing team, and CX/support teams. My ideas and contributions matter here at GradeCam. The culture is something special. I’m grateful to be a part of it.

With so many people on the GradeCam team that have worked in EdTech or education for so many years, I love that as a former educator I can talk with many team members about what education looks like and how we can better serve those educators. Each team supports learning and growing ourselves as professionals and how we can continue to improve.

We are a small company that values feedback from our users. We read every feature request we receive and often reach out to our clients to setup calls in order to get more information. We were founded by teachers and many of our team were teachers…some were even GradeCam users!

I love working for a company where I can make a difference in the world — I don’t think there is anything more impactful than improving the education of future generations.

I helped the teachers in my junior high with their computer problems. Knowing I was interested in technology, my 8th grade Earth Science teacher gave me the choice of either A) learning Earth Science and earning a grade like everyone else, or B) use class time to learn how to make him a website and get an A.
Easy decision! I still remember the background color I used for his website. This experience validated my interests and helped set my career path in motion.

My all-time favorite teacher was Mr. Johnson in 6th grade. He had a way of making you feel important and treated you like a genuine friend instead of just a kid. He instilled in me a love of history and understanding how other’s see the world.

Mark Petersen

My graphic design teacher in high school took a special interest in me, and how I connected with the design process. He gave me lots of opportunities to explore different aspects in the field, and we became friends. Years after I finished high school I ended up attending his wedding.
He saw something that gave me a little spark, and went out of his way to encourage me to pursue it. He didn’t have to, but he did, and it made a real difference–that’s stuck with me over the years.

My US History teacher handed me a book about Stalingrad in WW2 and told me I should read it. I felt pretty good about myself and my abilities because his gesture felt as if he believed in me beyond just the content of the course.

I am an avid volleyball player, concert-goer, and musical lover. When I have time to myself, you can catch me reading historical fiction, learning dance choreography on YouTube, or going on (not-so-strenuous) hikes with my two sons, husband, and pup.

My 4th Grade Teacher Mrs. Sayer was an amazing person. She helped me grow as an individual and help me grow my self confidence. She was the tough teacher, but had so much empathy for her students. She always would make sure you felt heard and that you were/ are important.

I love the close knit feel we have as a company even though we are so spread out as remote workers. I love that we truly make a difference in teachers lives.

The company has a family feel to it and provides a work-life balance that I have not had in over 10 years. Everyone here works hard, responds in a quick, professional manner and is dedicated to making GradeCam a success. There is not a big, corporate feel here, the company is nimble, efficient and able to react quickly and effectively.
