Thank you for using the Coach Digital Compass program. This is a versatile program that provides content and materials for teacher-led or guided instruction. It also provides practice for students with standard and assignment reporting. The goal of the program is to provide teachers with a host of resources to support accelerated learning for the whole class, plus remediation of unfinished learning for those who need it the most. This guide will provide a condensed outline for teachers to set up their classes, assign content, and view reports.
