About Kiddom
Kiddom is a groundbreaking educational platform that promotes student equity and growth by uniting high-quality instructional materials with dynamic digital learning. Through unparalleled curriculum management functionality, Kiddom empowers schools and districts to take ownership of their curriculum – resulting in learning experiences tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of local communities. Kiddom’s high-quality curriculum is layered with robust teacher and leader data insights to drive the continuous improvement of instructional decisions, school/district programming, and professional learning.
About the Team
The Versioning team is creating version control features to allow flexible tracking and versioning of base curricula and teacher modifications. Teachers frequently customize the base curriculum, and as the base changes, we need to be able to track versions and intelligently apply teacher customizations to the updated base.
Additionally, the team is addressing the negative performance impact associated with managing large curriculum graphs.
