The Challenge
Almost any problem we face as a society can be improved by better education. Yet we still see:
➤ Worried parents who doubt their children’s reading and writing skills
➤ Overwhelmed teachers trying to teach mathematics to students who can’t add, subtract or multiply fluently
➤ Frustrated experts asking why so many young people finish school with weak literacy
Current Solutions
More funding, extra time on basics, and better teacher training all help, but they don’t fix the root cause. With over a decade of teaching experience, I’ve seen that our go-to tools for teaching fundamentals often:
➤ Aren’t built by teachers
➤ Lack years of classroom-tested refinement
➤ Cost too much, making it hard to share and pilot new approaches
Those tools work for many children, if you pour in enough money and time, but still leave a significant number of learners behind.
The Solution
Tectonic is the result of over a decade of teacher development. It delivers tools that adapt in real time to each learner’s needs, whether in the classroom or at home. It's free because we can't solve this problem if the solution can't be shared.
