The birth of Brisk Teaching
After serving educators and students through his work at the White House, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and Google, Arman set off to create Brisk to meet teachers where you are, streamline your administrative tasks, and transform your time teaching with the support of an AI-powered assistant.
Foundational to Brisk is supporting your brilliance as the leader of your classroom community. As Dan demonstrated, everything you create with Brisk is yours to review, amend, and share on your terms with your students. We know teachers are irreplaceable and we are proud to support you in what you do best and help ensure you have more time to focus on motivating your students, fostering relationships, and tailoring your instruction.
