Used Kapow Primary weekly for 0-3 months

The progressive planning is excellent, and the fact that each unit will tell the teacher and pupils where and when we last covered something is really helpful. It ensures that teacher and pupil direction is targeted and guided. The videos are engaging as are the topics. The lesson plans are amazing for when a teacher might have to leave their class with a supply teacher, and the curriculum references are a wonderful focus. I am a new user of Kapow, and I really love it! Every teacher has one or two subjects that they probably feel they need to develop. Music is mine - but with Kapow, I am becoming far more confident, supported and inspired via Kapow. This is great personal and professional progress for me! Thank you, Kapow!
Theresa Mcdonagh found Kapow Primary:
- Improves teacher knowledge“The teacher videos are super, and really help me to understand the final outcomes of each unit.”
- Reduces teacher workload“I used to spend hours creating Power Piints and making resources. I would say that Kapow reduces me weekly workload by about 2 hours.”
- Builds student knowledge“We have just finished a unit on The Census (history) and classification in science. Both units taught my class many things they did not know - this was evidenced in the end of unit assessment.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“The structured planning and progression has been done! Curriculum references are there - what's not to love?”
- Improves attainment“My end of unit assessments have shown good progression in all pupils. The group work that is offered through Kapow ensures mutual support and encouragement in learning.”
