About Lisa Cooley

Lisa Cooley is co-founder of Catalyst Learning Network. She has served on her local school board for 15 years and is an advocate for learning environments that are responsive to the needs of children.

For 15 years, she has been building a nationwide network of parents, educators, and kids all working toward the best interests of kids and families.

She is also a violin teacher and the mother of 2 teens, one in college and one in high school.

"We at Catalyst have studied the pressures on kids for years -- observed kids in their fight to get to the top, and we know what can be lost on the way up. If your kid is struggling through high school, losing, not gaining, motivation and inspiration, all is NOT lost. We believe every single teenage kid is capable of great things, even if they are getting beaten back by the stress and constant competition of school." -Lisa Cooley
