OVERVIEW
The project
Character Strong delivers curriculum and training for social-emotional learning and character development in schools. Allzone worked on the platform that delivers that material to educators and tracks its use.
CHALLENGE
What made it difficult
School curriculum platforms serve educators under time pressure. Material has to be findable, sequenced and immediately usable in a lesson, not filed in a structure that requires exploration.
The institution behind the educator has a different requirement: visibility of what is being delivered and how programmes are progressing across cohorts. Both have to be served without complicating the other.

OUTCOME
What exists now.

An institution sees what is being delivered and how programmes are progressing across cohorts, without adding reporting work for teachers
The platform takes on new participating schools without a proportional rise in delivery or infrastructure effort
