About Arbol.
The Landscape.
The number of tools available to school districts has grown substantially over the last five years.
With each tool, there’s a salesperson who is trained to persuade you that theirs is the best. Companies spent $70 billion on training last year, yet school districts spend almost no money on learning to buy better.
The Challenges.
In the forest of instructional software procurement, school district admin face a multitude of challenges. Time constraints and the overwhelming promises made by vendors often lead to guesswork, jeopardizing student learning, teacher enthusiasm, and progress towards strategic goals. Overspending, reduced focus on improvement, wasted instructional time, disengagement, and limited transformative opportunities are some of the potential pitfalls.
With limited resources, complex decision-making, and multiple roles to juggle, administrators find themselves caught in a daunting maze with no clear path forward.
That’s where Arbol comes in.

Hi, I’m Jon! EdTech is in my roots.
Jon Castillo
FOUNDER
As a successful former EdTech software salesperson, I used to be one of those people giving you the dreaded cold-call.
When I sold to school districts, I witnessed a common challenge among leaders– lacking time, resources, and EdTech expertise to address their biggest obstacles, which often resulted in short-term and incomplete solutions. That's where Arbol Consulting comes in. As an extension of your team, we work with busy administrators to uncover true challenges, leverage instructional technology, and purchase smarter to achieve greater impact on student learning and teacher engagement.
