Toni Barton

Spelligent

The Entrepreneur
Toni Barton is a nationally recognized leader and champion of equitable educational systems in support of all learners, specifically exceptional learners. Prior to founding Spelligent, Toni founded and designed the Inclusive Schools Leadership Institute (ISLI) at Relay Graduate School of Education. In her capacity at Relay, Toni trained and coached state, district, and school-level leaders all across the country. Under her leadership, ISLI was one of the highest rated programs at Relay, a factor that led Toni to receive Relay’s equity award in 2020. In 2021, the Center for Learner Equity named Toni as one of sixteen “Beacons” in the special education sector—individuals who have demonstrated exemplary efforts to educate students with disabilities.

As a result of Toni’s success, she was asked to serve as a state-level coach and working group leader for the Council of Chief State School Officers’ Advancing Inclusive Principal Leadership initiative. In that role, Toni served as a state coach for Arkansas and Washington, DC, helping cross-sector state teams develop statewide strategic plans around improving inclusive practices.

Toni is a former principal and charter network director who started her career as a special education teacher in DC Public Schools. Toni holds an M.A. in Teaching–Special Education, Juris Doctor, and a B.S. in Computer Information Systems.

The School
Spelligent Schools is a rigorous, accessible, and engaging learning community that centers student identity so that children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Spelligent does this by ensuring all academic, culture, and data systems are designed to meet the needs of students historically underserved or unseen in school. The environment and systems are grounded in high expectations and personalization; students, educators, and families understand each individual learner’s unique profile so that students’ differences are celebrated and affirmed; and the holistic wellness of both students and educators is at the center.

Tia Bell

The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project

The Entrepreneur
Tia Bell became familiar with the struggles of at-risk youth early in life as the oldest child of an adolescent mother in Washington, DC. Overpowered by crime, defeat, and disadvantage, Tia lived through seven out of 10 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) before the age of 10. By the age of 17, gun violence had impacted several members of her family. In Tia’s determination to find significance in life’s pain, she found peace on the basketball court, winning Gatorade Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007 while attending HD Woodson Senior High School. She also earned an invitation to serve as a scholastic member of the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Club.

Today, Tia has gained meaningful experience in undergraduate admissions, college access, school counseling, coaching, and gun-violence prevention. As the Founder of FOuR, LLC and The T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project, she lives to prevent gun violence through the intersection of positive youth development, public health, and cultural responsiveness.

The Venture
In DC, Wards 7 and 8 are experiencing an epidemic of youth violence and gun violence. While many programs in the city provide direct services or violence interruption, our city lacks true primary prevention programs that address root causes by building youth resources and skills and engaging youth as change agents.

The True Reasons I Grabbed the Gun Evolved from Risks (T.R.I.G.G.E.R. Project) is a nonprofit focused on addressing root causes that create a culture of violence among DC’s youth. In partnership with the Marion S. Berry Summer Youth Employment Program, T.R.I.G.G.E.R hosts paid summer employment positions that help young people discover alternatives to using guns to solve emotional conflict or social issues.

Laurel Djoukeng

In August of 2016, Hampton University honored Laurel as one of the members of the Inaugural Class of Hampton University’s Forty under 40 for leading the way in business, leadership, community, and educational and philanthropic works. Laurel was one of Black Enterprise Modern Man 100 Men of Distinction, which showcased 100 diverse men of color who have done exceptional work.

The Venture

Noah Dougherty and Dan Englender

Relevant Learner

The Entrepreneurs
Noah Dougherty passionately believes that all students deserve to see a part of themselves in their school work. He was a teacher for eight years before working as an instructional coach and school leader. Noah has written curriculum for public districts, charter organizations, and for-profit companies. Most recently, he worked as an education consultant, partnering with districts across the country.

Dan is currently the COO and CFO at DC Prep, the third-largest Charter Management Organization in Washington, DC.

The Venture
Relevant Learner connects students with locally and culturally relevant content. It sources diverse and empowering content from expert community institutions and then makes it simple for educators to find, personalize, and share that content with students. Relevant Learner has two tools: a browser for teachers to help them find and customize content for their entire class and an adaptive curriculum tool that personalizes content for every student. Relevant Learner believes that creating truly meaningful and inclusive learning experiences begins with ensuring every student sees a part of themselves in their school work.

Vanessa Douyon

The Polyglot Tot

The Entrepreneur
Vanessa Douyon is a bilingual mom of two and a seasoned educator who left her role as a partner at a consulting firm to launch The Polyglot Tot. Vanessa brings deep education experience as a former teacher, curriculum designer, early learning center advisor, and school system executive. She holds her MBA from the University of Chicago.

Vanessa and her husband, Stefan Lallinger, are jumping hurdles to make their heritage languages—French, German, and Haitian Creole—accessible to their two tots, and want to make it easier for other families to do the same.

The Venture
The Polyglot Tot creates tools to help parents pass on a heritage language to their little ones.

It focuses on families of kids birth to age three, when most language development happens and where resources are at their slimmest.

Speaking a second language can ignite kids’ success—it leads to higher academic achievement and increases empathy for people of different backgrounds, something sorely needed today. But for a kid whose identity is tied to language, it’s about understanding your roots and having a strong sense of self. From personal experience, it changes your world and where you think you can go in it.

Marla Dean

Bright Beginnings

Marla Dean is Executive Director of Bright Beginnings, a well respected DC early care facility serving children experiencing homelessness. Marla will stay in her current role and build on the services of the existing nonprofit to create a dual-generation charter school educating young children experiencing homelessness alongside their parents and guardians. Her holistic approach to families in crisis will bring consistency to children’s lives and pathways to family-sustaining jobs for their caregivers.

Cass St. Vil

Cass St. Vil is a first-generation American of Haitian descent. She has been a teacher and workshop leader for KIPP and Teach For America and taught in South Africa (as a Fulbright Scholar) and in Rwanda (as a Peace Corps volunteer). She has a doctorate in African Studies from Howard University and a masters from Harvard. Throughout her career, Dr. Cass has noticed—and fiercely resisted—the negative connotations American culture assigns to being Black. She will open a DC charter high school that confronts and replaces the cultural stigma of “Blackness” with a history, literature, and social studies curriculum celebrating the African diaspora. Blending math and science standards with an Africa-themed curriculum, Dr. Cass’s goal is academic excellence—and pride.

Saumil Shah

Saumil Shah worked for the Tennessee Achievement School District before moving to Washington, DC, to consult. He will work with the KIPP-DC charter school network to help solve a perennial challenge faced by the DC charter sector: restarting failing schools. In the past, revocation or the threat of revocation has triggered a scramble to find organizations capable of leading successful school turnaround. Saumil’s project will investigate the school-based and community challenges—including the needs and concerns of students and families—related to school closure and restart. Working closely with KIPP, he will design a playbook for approaching school turnaround in DC.
