Integrated Planning, Learning & Teaching & Assessment
What differentiates a learning platform?
• Serving multiple Stakeholders within the school
(Teachers, Students, Administrators, Parents)
• High frequency of usage: daily or weekly usage by
Stakeholders
• Central hub: to support teaching & learning,
communications, and school operations
(attendance, reporting, etc.)
• Structured Repository: stores visible curriculum,
assessments, resources & coursework with
curriculum meta-data.
• Mission-critical: inability to access causes significant
disruption

Building the Written Curriculum

• The ‘written curriculum’ is the root of teaching &
learning within the school; however, it is hidden
from view – use-case is one of infrequent usage.
• External motivation for adoption may be upcoming
accreditation visit, leadership initiative, professional
development, etc.
• Curriculum is unique to each school and anchors
critical organizational decisions.
