Bedrock Learning – Bedrock Mapper
As Daisy Christodolou writes, ‘Successful disruptive innovation solves a problem better than the existing solution.’ School leaders know that language is the foundation of all learning, but traditionally haven’t had the means to monitor or improve disciplinary literacy on a consistent whole-school basis. Gone are the days of keyword lists written on the board or printed in books: Mapper leverages the power of technology to offer an innovative solution to this crucial pedagogical challenge.
Schools that use Bedrock Mapper are changing their culture, moving from pockets of good practice to a whole school approach to transforming disciplinary literacy.
Bedrock Mapper allows teachers across the curriculum to track, explicitly teach and assess the language that learners need to unlock access to each subject area. The research-based learning sequence and the recapping algorithm offer an innovative approach to learning and retaining new knowledge and the progress data attests to its impact.
The unique curriculum sequencing tool gives classroom teachers and leaders oversight and control over what language is learned, by whom, and when.
Bedrock Mapper addresses the challenge of improving disciplinary literacy better than the existing solution, enabling all learners to fully understand subject content and communicate like experts across the curriculum.
Smart digital learning that delivers – trusted Collins content matched to the curriculum in a powerful adaptive learning platform that can cut learning time in half.
Adapt supports every student and builds confidence with a data driven approach to intervention; and every teacher – providing detailed data on the whole class allowing them to focus their time where it will have most impact.
Responding to each student as a unique individual Adapt utilises cognitive science that improves recall – using algorithms that learn and adapt to identify what learners already know – and more importantly, what they don’t. It gives each student individual support, helping them to get back on track by identifying gaps in understanding, then teaching that content again.
Using globally tested cognitive science, the technology underpinning Adapt has been improving learning outcomes for over 25 years, tracking not only understanding but also each student’s metacognition – what they know about what they know – creating a unique pathway to learning success.
With a range of uses – homework, targeted intervention, assessment, revision and exam preparation, Adapt improves outcomes and engagement for the whole class and measures the impact – without having to change how you teach.
