We created Kimple to scale educational innovation proposals and promote educational equality and quality through teacher professional development. The challenges we seek to solve are:
The connection between the world and the classroom: preparing students for their future challenges.
Professional development and teacher upskilling.
Inclusion and equal opportunities for all.
Kimple is a platform for teaching teams, it contains class proposals and teacher support on emerging issues that bring today's challenges to the classroom. We provide teachers with lesson plans and didactic sequences on computational thinking, global citizenship and entrepreneurial spirit, together with training resources that allow them to learn about new methodologies in specific application contexts.
In the lesson plans, teaching teams will find all the necessary information for the implementation of the proposals in the classroom:theoretical framing, implementation plan, class management tips and evaluation suggestions.
Kimple is already being implemented in schools in different countries and from different socioeconomic contexts, having validated its operation. Users highlight Kimple’s focus on teaching teams and the practical structure of the proposal, which allows any teacher to implement new dynamics and train in new content and active methodologies while teaching their classes
We perceived the need to create a new content model that could respond to three specific challenges for schools:
1. How to monitor student’s skills development.
2. How to bring everything that happens outside to the classroom and create learning experiences in real contexts.
3. How to incorporate continuous teacher’s training processes to respond to the above challenges.
For all these challenges, we decided to create a content model focused on learning essential content and skills for new generations and aimed at teaching teams, to create a model of real and sustainable educational transformation.
We are spreading it directly and indirectly among schools and school groups, public administrations and foundations that serve vulnerable populations, with focus on Latin America and Spain.
To test Kimple, go to www.edukimple.com/trial and generate a demo user.
Schools in Latin America and Spain and from various socio-economic contexts are already using it. In our first year of implementation, 232 teachers taught classes with Kimple to more than 2,300 students between the ages of 12 and 18. Our goal is to grow in our target markets with 25% users from vulnerable environments.
