Salary benchmarks
Our take
Children’s learning is usually structured and regimented, but a lot of the time, the curriculum is not tailored to the specific educational needs of each child. Furthermore, studies prove that there is a direct link between the vocabulary of a student and their overall progress academically.
Bedrock Learning is an online education platform that focuses on literacy skills in English. Using adaptive technology, Bedrock Learning’s platform is focused on children aged 3-13 and was founded by English teachers with experience in what will best elevate the work of educators. The platform provides time-saving tools, including self-marking capabilities and ready-made curriculum for both schools and parents, saving the institution’s teachers time that can be better spent teaching.
Leveraging automation and data analysis for school curriculum has many benefits. Platforms like Bedrock are not only useful for mainstream education but for those with specific learning difficulties like dyslexia. With a range of data analysis products in development, efficacy of its products have been tried and tested positively by students and teachers alike.
