How Can I Use Kiddom to Support Differentiation?

As educators, we know that learning does not benefit from a one-size-fits-all approach. Each student brings unique perspectives into the classroom. While Kiddom is a source for core curriculum, it can also be a powerful tool for supporting differentiated instruction!

Kiddom offers Standards Mastery Reports and Assignment View Reports so teachers can quickly identify gaps as well as celebrate growth with their students.

Teacher Collaboration

Collaboration is essential to learning. With Kiddom's co-teacher functionality, teachers can invite other teachers to join their classes in Kiddom!

Please note: if your school is rostered through an integration system like Clever or Classlink, then co-teachers will need to be added to your class in your district's SIS in order to have access to those classes in Kiddom. Feel free to reach out to your CSM or support@kiddom.co for additional guidance on this!
