    Inquiry-Led Schools

    From academic integrity to academic transparency

    For schools where the process is part of what you assess: inquiry-led curricula, classrooms working across 7 languages and counting, and marking that has to stand up to an integrity panel.

    Academic integrity has been the standard for decades. It asks one question: Is this the student's own work?

    That question still matters. But 54% of US teens have already used AI chatbots for schoolwork, and 1 in 10 do all or most of their schoolwork with a chatbot's help. Asking whether is no longer enough.

    Because the real question isn't whether a student used AI. It's how they used it.

    How do you assess the process instead of the product?

    Inquiry-based learning, concept-driven units, and 7-language support (and growing) — Cognity speaks the language of international K-12.

    What is a process portfolio, and how do you assess one?

    When AI can produce any finished text, the finished text stops being evidence of learning. A process portfolio is what replaces it, and it is more useful than the essay ever was.
