Plan from the curriculum. Take the register. Notice how each learner approaches the activity. Kurasa Workspace brings these daily practices into one record, so a Kenyan teaching team can use what happened in today’s lesson to prepare tomorrow’s.

Local context
KICD curriculum designs give teachers the learning areas, strands, substrands and learning outcomes for their level. In Workspace, lesson preparation, attendance and formative assessment sit alongside the curriculum your school has enrolled. The official designs remain the reference for what you teach.
Choose a learning activity and the materials you will use. During the lesson, listen to explanations, observe attempts and note where another example is needed. Close the lesson with a short record and a decision about what to revisit. This is the Plan–Teach–Assess routine.

Set up your schoolYour curriculum, your teaching practice
We use your school’s national curriculum, International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge International programme as the reference for planning, teaching and assessment. The programme, level, subjects and syllabus edition are agreed during setup.
National pathway
Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). We use the KICD curriculum designs for the school’s level: learning areas, strands, substrands and learning outcomes. Schemes of work, lesson plans and formative assessment follow those designs.
IB pathway
Use the IB programme your school teaches: PYP, MYP, DP or CP. Connect inquiry, unit planning, classroom activities, reflection and formative assessment to the programme’s requirements.
Cambridge pathway
Use the Cambridge programme and syllabus for your stage: Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, or International AS & A Level. Plan by subject and syllabus, keep assessment evidence and prepare the next teaching step.
Tools for the school week
Available
Prepare lessons by learning area, keep the class register and record formative evidence. Use the same record when reviewing the week with your teaching team.
Available
Use a termly problem-solving sitting to look at how learners reason. Read the insight report with your teachers and choose the skills to practise in class.
Available to families
A short daily practice routine for families: five CBC questions, about eight minutes, on Google Play. Make time for a learner to try, explain and try again.
Start with the classroom routine your staff need most, then choose the tools that support it.
Local evidence
The game is won in the planning, not in the actual match.

Local resources and questions
The official curriculum remains your reference. Workspace holds the lesson preparation, attendance and assessment evidence your teachers record as they work with the class.
Yes. Open a school account, prepare the class roster and add teachers. Begin with a familiar lesson and review the planning and assessment routine together.
Choose one learning activity and decide what you will observe. Record the learner’s attempt and the feedback given while the lesson is fresh, then use that evidence to prepare the next step.
Kenya
Open a Kenya school account to begin the classroom routine. For a county, association or programme, tell us who will take part and how your teachers currently plan, assess and review their work.
