Co-Teacher Function

Your classroom, your collaborators

Multiple teachers can now work together in a single class, with roles and permissions that match how your district manages rostering. Co-teachers, interventionists, and long-term subs each get their own access with no shared logins.

Inquiry Hub Updates

A hub that works hard for you

The Inquiry Hub has been updated with clearer organization, improved navigation, and new resources designed for how you actually use it. Whether you're planning a unit, preparing for a team meeting, or supporting a new teacher, what you need is easier to find.

The Inquiry Hub now includes a video library with classroom footage, protocol walkthroughs, and real examples of structured inquiry across grade levels. Share something at a team meeting, walk a new teacher through a discussion protocol, or see how other classrooms handle a specific moment.

Integrations

Less setup and more teaching

Automated rostering with Clever and ClassLink keeps teachers, students, and classes in sync with no manual setup required. LTI 1.3 integrations with Canvas and Schoology let teachers launch assignments directly from their LMS.

First graders created their own community seals after the lesson on seals and symbols. We brainstormed all of the things that could visually represent our community and made a big list. Students then chose what to include on their community seal. Our school is in Lake Zurich, IL so we made the "Seal of Lake Zurich". This anchored the learning and helped students demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.

Students each drew a board game and made cards that move them forward/backward spaces. The cards had norms (i.e. running in the hallway -3 OR raising your hand +2) and the board game was decorate with school spaces (cafeteria, art room). They drew freehand so some were hard to play. Next time I will help them draw the board game layout.

Students created these flip books from Module 2/Lesson1: “Mapping our Location.” It took quite a few days to complete all the pages, but students loved learning about all the different places that they live. The song/video “Here I Am” is now a classroom favorite!

We piloted our first unit this year in preparation for roll out next year. After completing the Banana Split activity, we made banana splits. Unlike classes in the US, we cannot always get the foods to make a traditional banana split, so I gathered recipes and made the sauces needed. These are the recipes.
