Teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs, but it’s not without its challenges. Between planning lessons and meeting the needs of your students, it’s easy to feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to provide a well-rounded learning experience. That’s where Propello comes in.

Built with teachers in mind, Propello takes the pressure out of planning by giving you access to free learning resources. It’s an all-in-one platform for teaching, testing, and assessing your students that makes creating an engaging classroom a whole lot easier. Intrigued?

What Challenges Does Propello Tackle?

Propello is an empowering tool for both teachers and students. We’re on a mission to make teaching more inclusive and impactful, and that all starts with addressing some of the common challenges faced in the classroom. In particular, we’re addressing:

  • Growing workloads: In a study of 50 countries, the UK was rated one of the highest for pupils per classroom, with an average of 27. Only Chile had larger classrooms, with 28 children. With so many students per teacher, workloads can spiral out of hand, leaving you juggling your time between marking, prepping lessons, and actually engaging with your students.

  • Fragmented tools: Switching between multiple resources and tools is frustrating and eats away at your time in the classroom. From finding powerpoints to sourcing relevant videos, you risk losing focus and the amount of time it takes to source from multiple places.

  • Limited time: As a teacher, there are never enough hours in the day. In fact, UK school staff are racking up an average of 26 hours of unpaid overtime every week, extending well beyond normal classroom hours. But, with so much to do, what choice do you have? That’s why we created Propello.

Propello is built by teachers, for teachers. We know the pain points in this line of work and the key frustrations that could be holding your classroom back. That’s why our tool is used in 60% of schools; it addresses the real problems with effective, easy-to-implement solutions that tackle these challenges head-on.

How Does Propello Make Teaching Easier?

Propello eases the pressure on teachers with free learning resources, giving you more time to focus on what matters most: your students and easing pressure on tight budgets. Here’s how it helps tackle some of the most prominent challenges in the classroom.

Ready-to-Use Resources

You’ll have access to a huge range of free teaching and learning resources. From detailed presentations to exam board-aligned practice questions and worksheets, it’s all there, ready to go. You don’t need to spend time prepping, planning, and switching between resources, making it easier to kickstart lessons straight away and maintain momentum. 

Bringing Everything and Everyone Together

You have everything you need, wrapped up in one, intuitive platform. From introducing a topic to practice questions before exams, you can go from A to Z with Propello. That means no more switching between websites or hunting down slideshows; it’s resource management, made easy.

Propello’s also designed to be inclusive, with features like text translations, grammar support, and screen readers ensuring each and every student can make the most of the resources you’re sharing. This helps SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and EAL (English as an Additional Language) students work inclusively alongside their peers.

It’s one platform, made for every student.

Saving You Time

Spending hours creating resources has always been part and parcel of working as a teacher. We’re here to help with that. With simpler lesson planning and built-in inclusive support, you can spend more time teaching and less time prepping. For both you and your students, that’s a huge win. 

More Impactful Lessons

Great teaching isn’t just about covering the curriculum; it’s about creating learning experiences that engage entire classrooms. Propello incorporates a wide variety of teaching strategies, including retrieval activities to support recall, interactive quizzes to boost knowledge, and plenty of study tips. The result? Lessons that don’t just tick boxes, but truly inspire.

Personalise Student Tasks

You can access Propello resources for free, but there are additional paid-for features that can level up your lessons. This includes the ability to track individual student progress and tailor their next tasks accordingly. For instance, if you spot a pupil who could use some extra support to secure their knowledge of UK landforms in Geography, you can send them an up-to-date case study on the Lake District. 

For a student who’s moving ahead of the class, why not pop them over an extra quiz to really challenge their knowledge? This is all about personalising the learning experience while keeping your classroom an inclusive, empowering space.

What Can Teachers Access on Propello?

When signing up for Propello, you’ll have instant access to a wide variety of resources. These are available as digital or print-out versions, so that you can reach your students in a way that suits them. To give you an idea of what to expect, here are some of the key resources and features you’ll be able to start using:

  • Unit resources: Cover entire topics using our ready-to-go learning tools. From resources for History lessons to Geography quizzes, you can go through carefully planned lessons, Kahoot quizzes, and practice exam questions, all with a flow that’s easy to keep up with.

  • Revision aids: Use Propello’s Revision Jams to recap key points and highlight information your students need for their exams. These are also packed full of revision tips and learning checks, helping both you and your pupils pinpoint topic areas that might need a more in-depth refresh. Students can also gain access to a bank of CALM’s guided meditations when extra help is needed to relieve anxiety and refocus.

  • Assessment tools and quizzes: Throughout different units, your pupils will be tested on what they’re learning, with automatic scoring that reduces your after-school marking pile. Check in on classroom progress to make sure your pupils have absorbed and understood the lesson, and drive engagement with interactive digital tests.
  • Resources following the curriculum: Propello comes with a full range of KS3 and GCSE teaching tools, all following the UK curriculum and AQA and Edexcel specifications. Access teaching resources for Science, History, Business, Geography, English Literature and Religious Studies.

Whether you’re exploring our free resources to supplement your lessons or rooting your exam prep in our Revision Jams, each resource is designed to help both you and your students spend more time learning and less time prepping. All downloadable resources are fully editable, so they can be personalised for your tailored to your classes and setting.
