Funso

Three phrases summarise what Funso is—metacognitive baselining, self-assessment with a feedback loop, and skill and proficiency improvement as a result of the previous two. All else, all the technology, all the go-to-market happens in between. Through Funso, we identify metacognitive and baseline competencies for all students. We then provide them with individualised formative assessments and feedback that helps them bridge gaps in their learning–from where they are to where they want to be. This is a continuous process and enables students to acquire skills and become proficient in concepts progressively. Funso provides a comprehensive approach to learning that begins with students as early as the 6th grade and extends throughout their K12 journey. Through this discovery-driven approach, we aim to guide students towards tangible grade improvements. Teachers can generate unlimited standardised assessments that prepare students for the challenges of the 9th and 10th grades. Teachers are able to assign these formative assessments for all concepts they teach as integral components of classwork and homework assignments. Funso integrates technology with enriched content broken down by curricular learning objectives and associated topics—all of which are expert-validated and efficacy-tested. All assessments offered in Funso are auto-graded. This helps teachers focus on teaching the curriculum while delegating assessment responsibilities to Funso. Funso also serves as a valuable tool for teachers to get personalised reports for each student. These reports pinpoint areas of weakness and improvement for each student and thereby, facilitate targeted practice and spaced repetition. The personalised reports from Funso facilitate parent-teacher meetings, provide valuable insights into each student's progress. Funso today is available exclusively through schools.
