Debunking one-size-fits-all curricula with a free online teaching platform customized to every student’s unique learning style
Neeru Khosla, a molecular biologist and successful CEO, always credits her education for helping her achieve her dreams. Coming from a modest background, she has tirelessly worked for the cause of education so that every child gets the opportunity to participate in the global economy.
After heading the education committee of The Nueva School, where her four kids went, Neeru returned to Stanford University for her Master’s in Education. With years of experience in the academic world and a passion for improving education for all, she co-founded CK-12 Foundation in 2008.
CK-12 provides:
- High-quality Math and Science full curriculum for K-12
- A digital teacher assistant for every instructor
- A digital tutor for every student
All powered by AI, all for free!
High-quality Math and Science full curriculum for K-12
“The whole idea was to create an online portal where kids will want to learn and get feedback on how they’re doing and what they need to do next,” says Neeru, CEO of CK-12 Foundation.
CK-12’s ground-up digital curriculum offers courses that house multimodal content, from simulations and modeling to formative assessments, flashcards, and study guides. Written by CK-12’s domain experts, the courses are highly engaging and promote active learning with immediate feedback.
A digital teacher assistant for every instructor
“We have to break out of standardized education and give our children skills to help humanity,” Neeru says, “We need to go beyond the grade book, which only tells teachers what happened but not why it happened.” To achieve this, CK-12’s teacher assistant uses predictive AI to save instructors time and provide them with actionable insights.
A digital tutor for every student
CK-12’s AI Tutor Flexi (Flexi.org), meanwhile, replicates almost every aspect of 1:1 human tutoring at scale – the form of equity Neeru always wanted to deliver. “Having already tutored over 1.3 million students in 8 months, Flexi meets where the student is, personalizing instruction for each of them to motivate and prepare them for the success they deserve.
“CK-12 has served more than 265 million users worldwide and counting! Join me in creating a better tomorrow for every student!”
