Stepmojo

Dacia Toll is co-founder and CEO of Stepmojo, an online learning platform that helps schools address teacher shortages while expanding student access to high-interest electives, career pathways, and great teachers. Through partnerships with best-in-class providers, Stepmojo offers a diverse array of high-quality, live online courses with teachers who have been trained to promote student learning, engagement, and community online.

In 1999, Dacia led the founding team and served as the principal of Amistad Academy in New Haven, CT. Under Dacia’s leadership, the school posted the greatest achievement gains of any middle school in Connecticut and was the subject of a nationally-televised PBS documentary, “Closing the Achievement Gap.” Based on the success of Amistad, Dacia then co-founded and co-led Achievement First (AF), which became one of the nation's leading charter school networks with 41 schools in the Northeast. AF students routinely achieved academic results and college graduation rates on par with our country’s wealthiest communities. Dacia also launched AF Accelerate to support district and charter schools across the country to build their own teacher and leader capacity.

Dacia was a founder and board member of Relay Graduate School of Education, Zearn, and 50CAN. Dacia received a BA from UNC-Chapel Hill, an MA from Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, and a JD from Yale Law School.
