Last updated 6 months ago

Knobase supports educators and school leaders in designing responsive, data-informed curricula and professional development (PD) programs. By analyzing student interactions and teacher usage patterns, the platform helps schools align teaching strategies with real-world needs and emerging trends.

🧠 Why It Matters ✅ Aligns curriculum with actual student interests and learning gaps
✅ Supports differentiated instruction and inclusive learning pathways
✅ Empowers teachers with AI-assisted planning tools
✅ Makes PD more relevant, personalized, and actionable

⚙️ How It Works

  1. Curriculum Insights from AI Usage

    • Knobase tracks which subjects, topics, and formats students engage with most

    • Example: High engagement with “Debate Coach” → Add more argumentation-based activities

  2. Teacher Support for Lesson Planning

    • Teachers can ask agents for:

      • Activity ideas by grade and subject

      • Resource recommendations from school documents

      • Adaptations for SEN or advanced learners

  3. PD Guidance Based on Teacher Behavior

    • Knobase monitors how teachers use AI agents:

      • Common queries (e.g., lesson ideas, rubric feedback)

      • Frequency and timing of use

      • Preferred models and tone settings

  4. Generate PD Recommendations

    • Example: “Teachers in Year 6 frequently request help with formative assessment. Consider a PD session on AI-supported feedback strategies.”

💡 Example: Curriculum Adjustment

InsightAction

Students frequently ask about sustainability

Add ESG modules to science and humanities

Teachers use AI for rubric-based feedback

Offer PD on AI-assisted assessment design

Low engagement with STEAM agents

Reevaluate STEAM curriculum or delivery method

📌 Use Cases 🧑‍🏫 Teachers: Plan lessons with AI support and adapt to student needs
🧑‍💼 Leaders: Design PD sessions based on actual teacher challenges
📚 Curriculum Teams: Align units with student interests and AI trends

🔐 Ethical & Contextual All recommendations are grounded in your school’s own documents and usage data. Knobase ensures that curriculum and PD planning are not just efficient—but deeply contextual and human-centered.
