From Theory to Practice(Isn’t this a lot of work?)

73%Of instructors spent between

hours of their week building their own digital content.1-6

How do we make these resourcesENGAGING and MEANINGFUL?

“"[Our] platform saves our instructors time and allows them to focus on more important tasks — like teaching their classes instead of searching for and/or creating digital content to support curriculum. We’ve created strong links between curriculum, assessment, and standards, and connected learning to our pupils’ personal goals, aspirations, and interests."

- Martha Barwick, Harford County, MD

Teachers, Parents, and students are frustrated with too many different systems.

All Gooru content is built into our library!
