Why choose Kognity's high school science curriculum?
Unlike other digital science curricula, Kognity was built for NGSS from the beginning. It empowers high school educators to focus on learning, with trusted performance data.
Built for easy implementation
No matter the teachers’ experience level, Kognity becomes a reliable partner when making the transition to phenomena-based curriculum. Kognity’s teacher-friendly lessons support them to integrate it into their existing plans seamlessly — as inspiration to spark ideas, or dive right in and adopt the full curriculum.
Designed for NGSS from the beginning
Kognity’s rigorously vetted, expert-crafted science content supports teachers when implementing the complex standards. Kognity’s curriculum includes embedded and color coded Performance Expectations (PEs), Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs), Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), and Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) throughout.
Curriculum rooted in phenomena
Within all of Kognity’s courses, lessons are centered around a rooted phenomenon. With the help of our curated Driving Question Board, we encourage a student-led and teacher-guided approach in the classroom. This is the teacher’s stepping stone into phenomena-based learning that helps students make meaningful connections to real-life situations and become more engaged in their learning.
Quality 3-dimensional assessment
As a leading student assessment tool, Kognity is designed to improve test scores by familiarizing students and teachers with content and performance in CCCs, SEPs, and DCIs. It will save teachers time when it comes to grading 3-dimensional learning and help track student progress with reliable data.
Built to Fit Into Your LMS
Kognity integrates with all major Learning Management Systems (LMS), including Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, and Google Classroom. From task management to rostering, these LMS integrations automate time-consuming processes for convenience and ease.
