Chispa (which means Spark in Spanish), initially called Khan Academy Project started as a pilot project in 2012. Our initiative was to promote the improvement of learning and teaching of mathematics using technology and multimedia. It is composed of three core elements:
- Technological Resources: TVs, DVDs with over 500 math content videos organized by grade level (1st-6th)
- Teacher trainings and teacher manual with over 100 dynamic and interactive teaching strategies.
- Continuous evaluation of teachers and students.
We believe that this holistic approach contributes to create a more dynamic and motivating environment for learning math and replaces the traditional teaching methodologies and paradigms.
