Company History

Incorporated in 1998, (formally, Achievers' Network, Inc.,) My Learning Chest, the company, is based in Richmond, Virginia. My Learning Chest.com was established to provide solutions for elementary teachers who are often overwhelmed by the demands of students' behavior in the classroom. ...Later, My Learning Chest.com expanded to offer smart-behavior solutions to Parents.

My Learning Chest.com offers confidential access to individualized solutions for behavior and cognitive concerns. Research based teaching and learning practices, professional expert advice, reflective thinking techniques and learning tools, are available on My Learning Chest.com to guide the elementary teacher toward workable solutions for his or her day-to-day encounters with diverse student behavior.

Our company's founder, Virginia M. Smith, developed the mission to assist elementary teachers with student behavior concerns in the classroom, after teaching in the field of early childhood, elementary, and higher education.
As Adjunct Professor, at Virginia Commonwealth University, teaching in the Department of Teaching and Learning, she witnessed the need for additional real-time guidance in understanding the characteristics and patterns of behaviors exhibited in real-time by students in the classroom. Technology was the vehicle that could be used to provide the real-time guidance requested by elementary teachers. The divide between theory and practice was evident, and it needed assistance in closing.
The idea followed the need, and technology became a part of the solution. After careful assessment and evaluation of the process that allowed this new solution to be a workable solution, Ms. Smith moved forward with the on-line project. With great focus on our on-going mission; to continuously improve the ways we educate ourselves and others, My Learning Chest.com was successfully launched.
