Our Story

Common Good Learning Tools (CGLT) was founded in 2019 by Pepper Williams, who saw an opportunity to contribute to K-12 education. In CGLT, Pepper brings to bear his training as a cognitive psychologist (PhD, Yale) and his two decades of developing some of the most successful digital learning products in higher education. His mission is to help improve K-12 education in a way you don’t hear about much these days—by developing digital applications that assist in the work educators are doing so well already, rather than attempting to replace them.
