Ever since the government introduced the National Education Policy in 2020, K-12 learning solutions have been steadily transforming the educational landscape. These solutions have proven to be dynamic, flexible, and efficient in never-thought-before-ways for educators to teach innovatively in the classrooms while ensuring an engaging learning environment for students.
But, what exactly are these K-12 learning solutions for schools?
Simply put, these teaching methods go beyond the concept of rote learning and burying the student’s face into books. Instead, they focus on experiential learning, experimenting, and learning with the help of real-life examples. Integrating AI, games, puzzles and more interactive techniques is the core of K-12 learning solutions for schools.
With their big spectrum of advantages and practices, a basic question arises: Do educators benefit from these?
The answer to this question is a yes! In a world where teachers struggle with managing their workload, K-12 learning solutions for schools are truly helpful for educators in the following ways:
Data Management
Be it four students or forty, it eventually gets hard for the educators to make a note of their performance together and particularly pinpoint every student’s area of improvement. Enter AI and data-driven management where all the performances get recorded and tracked at the touch of a finger, it gets easier for teachers to access the information, grade the tests faster and detect the exact areas where the student needs more support and attention. Such K-12 learning solutions for schools enable a comprehensive and more personalised learning environment for the pupils. With the help of personalised assessments and assignments, educators can now have a more customised approach for every child enabling them to lead the students towards the rightful path of improvement, better than ever before.
Personal Improvement
There is no age limit to learning and K-12 learning solutions for schools prove the same. Most of these courses have a training module for teachers as well. Obviously, not because they do not know things but because they are also new to such courses and their usage. These modules draft a sense of self-belief in the educators and teach them various skills such as using AI, understanding the basic concept of robotics, learning new ways of teaching and much more that help the educators and the learners build a more comprehensive learning environment.
Communication and Collaboration
One of the hardest things in a school is to provide accurate progress reports to parents on a regular basis. Even in parent-teacher meetings, parents do not get a full grasp of how their children are actually performing, but with these solutions, it’s easier for teachers to communicate the progress, update them with the specifics and discuss the academics at a more dynamic level so that the child can have all-round management with complete transparency.
Additionally, these platforms and solutions also support collaboration. Sometimes teachers too get stuck and need other teachers’ intervention to improve and streamline the learning process. These K-12 learning solutions effectively connect teachers and help them form their communities where they can connect, clarify issues, share progress and adapt to each other’s techniques and learnings to facilitate better education.
Enable Various Modes of Teaching
Remember the concept of flashbulb memory by Roger Brown and James Kulik and how it suggests that we remember things better when associated with high emotion voltage like excitement? Well, these K-12 learning solutions for schools do exactly that.
These solutions offer creativity and innovation, as they stress more on practical learning than theory. Teachers can present information in various formats, such as videos, podcasts, presentations, and PDFs, catering to different learning styles. Moreover, students can have more fun in the classrooms through games, puzzles and quizzes which allows the teacher to assess them holistically. Such teaching methods allow the teacher to serve content in various ways and increase the chances of retention with creativity.
In a nutshell, K-12 learning solutions for schools offer new ways of presenting information and teaching, making the classroom more fun, and lessening the load for both students and teachers alike.
