Ingredients for success

The success of CLASSworks is based on a number of principles

Visie

The CLASSworks programme already exists for over 20 years. The success of CLASSworks is based on the involvement of the schools. Each school consciously chooses to participate in the CLASSworks programme and contributes financially.

Expertise

We train and support teachers for a period of two years in using the digital teaching materials in class. A lot of attention is paid to new teaching methods that also stimulate the development of 21st-century skills.

Infrastructure

We use standard hardware as much as possible within CLASSworks so that schools can easily expand or replace it. We did, however, develop a customised server, the ElimuPi, for the specific circumstances at the schools.

Content

This allows each school access to a huge library with educational material. This material is selected based on the national curriculum and can be used without an internet connection.
