Luisa Velez: A Platform For Easier Management of Learning Diversity and Inclusion
Luisa: It’s great to meet you too, Spiffy, thanks for having me! To answer your question, teaching a classroom where all students have different motivations, emotional backgrounds, abilities, difficulties, or disabilities, is not an easy task. We built Skalo, a platform for teachers to ease the management of this learning diversity by customizing and monitoring strategies and accommodations for students that are facing learning barriers and that learn at a different pace. With Skalo, teachers for grades Pre-K to 12 teach each student in the way they learn according to their needs and monitor their progress to get useful data for pedagogical decisions about learning barriers based on evidence. It provides a customized plan with accommodations for instruction, interaction, and evaluation for each student.
