Kognity's digital education platform puts quality science education – aligned to emerging science standards, such as NGSS – at teachers' fingertips. Designed to help students take ownership of their learning, the Kognity science platform not only brings order and structure to new styles of teaching science, but it also serves up curriculum, assessments, and professional development. In short, it's everything teachers need to put "the new science education" into action in their classroom in a way that's as individualized and customized as they want to make it.
"Kognity's innovative platform will support U.S. science teachers as they transform their teaching to implement NGSS, helping students to become scientific thinkers and learners," said Paul Berry, Head of Market, North America. "We look forward to connecting with more U.S. educators at Engage and conferences like ASCD and ISTE 2022 to learn about ways they believe dynamic technology accelerates student learning."
