"Kognity solves the problem of time"
Lee Kelsall is the Teaching, Learning and Curriculum Coordinator (IB Coordinator) at Humanitree in Mexico City. He’s been teaching with Kognity since 2015, and when he joined Humanitree in 2020 he brought Kognity with him.
As a school leader, Lee appreciates the way Kognity saves teachers time, freeing them up to provide more personalized support for students. Kognity’s integrated reading assistance has also been very beneficial at Humanitree, particularly for learners with EAL or additional support needs.
"It accelerates your teaching!"
John Patton is the IB coordinator at St Gilgen International School in Salzburg, Austria. He also teaches DP Biology and ESS, and Kognity plays a key role in his day-to-day teaching.
John trusts Kognity because the materials are backed up by proven learning theory, which helps students to engage with their learning and to make progress faster. This means he gets to spend more classroom time focusing on the most exciting aspects of his subject, fostering his students’ passion for learning.
"Hey, everything's here!"
Estaban Flemons is the President of the Classroom Teachers Association in the Phoenix Union High School District, Arizona. Kognity has been a staple of the IB Diploma Programme there for over 5 years now.
With Kognity in place, Estaban feels confident that the students always have access to everything they need for their DP studies. He also really values the way the platform guides students to spend their independent study time in the right areas, supporting more efficient and effective exam preparation.
