Fundação Lemann needed a more agile way to test and validate educational innovations before scaling them up. The traditional one-year process was time-consuming and made it difficult to quickly implement improvements in schools. We developed a digital model that reduced the validation time for new educational solutions from one year to three months, impacting more than 400 teachers and 5,000 students.

The challenge

How can we speed up the validation of innovative solutions for schools without compromising quality?

• The testing process took a year to generate conclusions, slowing down the adoption of new educational technologies.
• Teachers and students needed a more dynamic way of interacting with innovations.
• It was necessary to structure an efficient experimentation model to facilitate decisions on scalability.

The road to a solution

We have created an agile experimentation methodology, reducing validation time.

• We have developed a digital platform to run and measure educational innovation experiments.
• We implemented a structured model for analyzing the results, ensuring that only the most effective solutions were scaled up.
• We created tools that allowed teachers to follow the adoption of innovations and share feedback in real time.

What have we learned together?

Agile testing speeds up the adoption of new educational technologies.

• Creating shorter experimentation processes can unlock innovations more quickly.
• Well-structured data facilitates decision-making on the scalability of solutions.
• Adopting new educational technologies requires continuous adaptation and structured feedback.
