BloomBoard’s Journey

BloomBoard was founded by Jason Lange and Eric Dunn in 2010 when they took on the challenge of developing a teacher coaching platform that would use technology to take the principles of differentiated instruction for students — and apply those principles — to teacher development and support. With that core mission in mind, BloomBoard has evolved to a platform for professional learning with purpose via micro-credentials.
