"It's one platform for every single subject, which I thought was a very good idea. Bedrock makes it easy for teachers to share content. It hasn't at all needed the workload I expected to set up.""

The team at GEMS Wellington Al Khail have become passionate users of Bedrock, in particular the subject-specific vocabulary content within the Mapper module. Teachers are implementing Bedrock in the classroom, for homework, as well as for personalisation and intervention diagnostics.

Subjects as diverse as history, geography, science and even Spanish have embedded Bedrock within their lessons; utilising and adding to the Bedrock content to fully align with their own curriculum needs. Vocabulary is organised by topic and shared between all teachers to ensure rollout has been high impact and low effort. The team at GEMS Wellington Al Khail have worked closely with Bedrock to ensure all curriculum requirements have been covered.
