Compass LearningHow can I use this in my classroom?
Have you struggled to find resources to truly differentiate for
each child?
Have you been able to collect data on each individual child as
they progress towards his or her academic goals?
Dont fret there is help on the way! INTRODUCING
What is compass Learning?Compass Learning is an online K-12
curriculum that is available to students in Grant County.
This program has content that covers Reading, Language Arts,
Math, and Science.
The program was designed to be a self-paced program that is
individualized for each child that is enrolled.
The program consists of tutorials, learning activities, games,
and quizzes for students to practice and progress towards their
learning goals.
How does it work?Step 1. Students will take the NWEA MAP test.
Students will be assigned an overall RIT score as well as scores
for individual areas (reading foundations, number and operations,
etc.)
Step 2. Compass Learning will merge the scores from the MAP test
with its system and will create an individualized learning path for
each child based off of their MAP scores. Students will get a
learning path for each individual area.
Step 3. Students will log on to Compass Learning with their
username and password and begin their learning path. The system
will track their progress and allow you as a teacher to check their
data.

contentSince we utilize the NWEA MAP Assessment, this offers a
very beneficial component with Compass Learning. Compass will
synchronize with the MAP RIT scores to create an individualized
learning path for each student based off of his or her strengths
and weaknesses.
You can see the individual RIT bands for each content area. This
is based off of this childs MAP scores.
