Kiddom Intros AI-Powered Tool for Differentiated Instruction
Digital curriculum platform Kiddom has introduced Kiddom Atlas, an AI-powered tool that analyzes student work and prepares differentiated instructional materials aligned to the next day's lesson.
Each day, Kiddom Atlas identifies students' misconceptions and learning gaps, and then generates new lessons for targeted small-group instruction, the company explained in a news announcement. "Teachers receive clear recommendations on how to address misconceptions: how to group students, what parts of the curriculum may need to be revisited, and how to adjust instruction to make space and time for this critical work, all while maintaining full control over instructional decisions and process," the company said.
The tool was developed in partnership with Achievement Network (ANet), a nonprofit focused on expanding educational excellence for all students, and Teaching Lab, an organization specializing in curriculum-based professional learning. Data from early in-school use indicates that students using Atlas demonstrated gains of up to 18% compared to peers, Kiddom reported.
"When teachers can see exactly where students are in their learning and how to help them move forward, differentiation and just-in-time intervention become possible every day," said Kiddom CEO Ahsan Rizvi, in a statement. "Atlas represents a shift from reactive to proactive instruction."
"For too long, curriculum, assessment, and intervention have operated as separate systems, asking teachers to do the work of stitching them together," commented Michelle Odemwingie, chief executive officer at ANet. "When teachers know exactly how to support each student, there's no limit to what they can achieve. Atlas shows what's possible when formative assessment is embedded directly into high-quality instructional materials, so teachers can respond to student thinking without leaving grade-level instruction."
"This partnership brings together top experts in math instruction, assessment, and professional learning to reimagine how AI-powered technology can drive differentiated instruction, without sidelining teachers or replacing their judgment," said Sarah Johnson, CEO at Teaching Lab.
