The results from PISA (Program for International Student Assessment), carried out by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), show that the best-performing countries rely on learning standards. This is an approach that, when complemented with other measures\u2014such as teachers\u2019 instruction and aligned textbooks\u2014 has proven to enhance students\u2019 learning.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation process will require a lot of work from teachers in their classrooms and the cooperation among states, cities, and civil society to turn the Standards into reality and help promote real breakthroughs and improved learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Standards pave the way to ensure that all Brazilian students have the same right to learn, but we are aware of the challenges that educators, school administrators, parents, and guardians are to face to make it happen,\u201d said Denis Mizne, executive director, Lemann Foundation. \u201cWe believe the investment in BNCC-centered technologies will help guarantee the access to quality education to all students,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the Lemann Foundation and Omidyar Network will invest a multi-million dollar initiative over the next two years to identify and support entrepreneurs and projects that facilitate the Standards\u2019 implementation through technology. These solutions could include innovative ways to assess students\u2019 learning levels and personalize learning plans to their needs. The tools are expected to have a direct impact in classrooms on student learning. The target audience consists of teachers and students, but the tools can also be used by school administrators to help devise syllabuses, to support activities performed by secretaries of education, and to engage parents and guardians, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see tremendous opportunity to invest in innovative tools that promise to improve learning outcomes in Brazil,\u201d said Eliza Erikson, venture partner, Omidyar Network. \u201cSupporting solutions that align with the new BNCC standards and that are tailored to the needs of Brazilian students, teachers, and school leaders will enable their adoption and ultimate success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the second partnership with this intent announced by the Lemann Foundation. Founder and Executive Secretary of the Movement for the National Learning Standards, the Lemann Foundation announced last March a co-investment partnership with Google.org. Their objective is to have Nova Escola and the best teachers in the country develop a digital platform for quality teaching resources that are aligned with BNCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omidyar Network and the Lemann Foundation announced a collaboration to invest in the development of technological solutions and innovative tools to facilitate the implementation of the National Learning Standards.\u00a0 Lemann Foundation CEO Denis Minze tells LAVCA: A lot of what we discuss internally at the foundation is: How can we look deeper into the problems,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavca.org\/omidyar-and-fundacao-lemann-to-invest-in-brazilian-edtech-tool-standardization\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"sr-only\">&#8220;Omidyar and Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Lemann to Invest in Brazilian Edtech Tool Standardization&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 -
