About Us

At Key Understanding LLC, our goal is to develop tools that improve communication and spread information in unique ways. Keyset for Education, our debut program, aims to do exactly this.

The idea for Keyset originated with two teachers collaborating about what effective feedback looks like and how it can be given in a timely fashion. Both teachers had read John Hattie’s Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning and found themselves candidly examining their use of feedback aimed at improving the writing skills of their students. One of the obstacles they faced was the large class sizes they had. Giving effective feedback to almost 40 students per class is daunting (multiply that by five classes). This herculean task leaves the average teacher overwhelmed and can quickly lead to burnout that often results in zero feedback with just marks on a rubric. This honest look at their teaching methodology resulted in the birth of Keyset for Education and Key Understanding LLC. Keyset has been life-changing in their writing instruction and they want to share this amazing product with the world.
