Supporting over half of the world's IB Diploma Programme students
Why do IB DP coordinators, educators and students in over over 1,500 schools across 130 countries rely on Kognity to elevate their IB DP teaching and learning?
"Kognity provides a way in to the IB"
Impington International College is a state-funded academy situated near Cambridge that prides itself on being inclusive and diverse.
Leanne Gibbons, Head of Sixth Form, sees Kognity’s main strengths as its complete alignment to the IB curricula, and its recognition of the real qualities of the International Baccalaureate. This makes Kognity a particularly important scaffold for teachers who are new to the IB Diploma Programme.
As for the students, they are only too happy to ditch their kilos of textbooks in favour of a platform that is digital and easy-to-use, with content that is relevant today.
"Kognity has been a life changer"
Philippa Dell is the Science Faculty Head and Biology teacher at Southbank International School – an IB World School located in central London, with 70 nationalities represented in the student body.
Philippa says that teaching with Kognity has improved her well-being as it saves her so much time, especially on lesson planning and assessment tasks that now take her minutes rather than hours. She also found Kognity to be a particularly valuable resource for supporting the transition to the new IB DP Biology syllabus.
"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.
