Education Excellence

Kris chats with Justin Reilly, the new CEO of Impero Software, who was hired to lead the company in its next phase of growth, and Dennis Gonzales, technology director for the Ulysses Unified School District 214 in Kansas, who has 18 years of experience in the classroom teaching business apps/communications technology. Impero is dedicated to student well-being and has established monitoring devices that capture valuable safety information for educators, such as to support bullying prevention and to help determine whether a student is at risk. Impero’s software also has the capability of keeping track of student academic success, notes Reilly. Gonzales says that it’s important for educators, especially teachers, to embrace new technology or else “it can pass them by.” The Ulysses school district launched a one-to-one initiative for its high school students a couple of years ago, but needed a classroom management tool to help teachers. Impero provided the solution, according to Gonzales. This episode was sponsor
