Bringing Exceptional Learning to Life

Karoline Jarr, Ph.D.

Principle, Candela Services

Karoline creates educational experiences that are effective, equitable, and scalable. In 2019, Karoline started a consulting company to respond to the need for cutting-edge solutions in education. She serves forward-thinking education companies and social ventures in assessment, evaluation, and STEM programming. 

Currently, she oversees policy-driven assessment implementations for Curriculum Associates. In this role she shares technical expertise and information with decision-makers and educators, resulting in valuable and data-rich implementations. 

Before consulting, Karoline also held leadership roles and served as Vice President for Research and Program Effectiveness for a leading provider of STEM curriculum. She monitored the success and quality of hands-on STEM programs that reached tens of thousands of teachers and over one million students annually. Her work experience spans several education companies and organizations, many of which operate on a large scale. These experiences gave her insight into what it takes to make learning accessible and relevant to all students from rural Alaska to urban Miami and everywhere in between.

She is an experienced analyst, researcher, evaluator, teacher and presents nationally and internationally on education topics. Though she holds a doctorate in Psychological and Quantitative Foundations, she believes there is no such thing as a "terminal degree". Clients, colleagues, children at the library, and strangers on the street continue to inform and shape her understanding of the world.
