About Dr. Theo Dawson
I'm the CEO of Lectica®, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to helping the world think better by producing and distributing sophisticated learning tools that support the kind of learning that matters. https://lecticalive.org
Our non-profit mission is to deliver our learning tools free of charge to individual K-12 teachers everywhere. We support this mission through donations and our for-profit arm, the Developmental Testing Service (DTS). All of the profits from DTS are donated to Lectica.
Lectica makes diagnostic and formative learning tools for schools, colleges, and the workplace. These tools measure how well people work with their knowledge in real world contexts, identify "what comes next", and provide personalized learning recommendations. https://www.linkedin.com/company/lectica-inc
It's taken over 20 years and a fair bit of struggle to develop the technology and methods we use here at Lectica. For me, it's a sandbox. But I do have a bit of a life outside of the "nonprofit that owns me". I have 3 children and 3 grandkids to play with, and I spend a fair bit of time on the trail, on my bike, or in the garden.
