Collaborative planning and Written Curriculum put huge strain on managing planners, scope and sequences, and documentation. All schools need a comprehensive solution to deal with the constant moderation and change that is prevalent to a living programme of inquiry.

In this session we will share how KIS International School in Bangkok, Thailand is using ManageBac to make sure that we are providing a structured, virtual learning environment for all our community members where the planning process, the assessment, and the daily communication are all connected.
