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.

These are power point presentations each child created for a natural resource of their choice. In their presentation they had to showcase their knowledge of the resource (what is it, where is it found, renewable or nonrenewable), how it is used, and ideas for conserving it locally as well as globally. After student created their presentations they shared them in small groups and used the warm/cool/ suggestion feedback. They continue to give feedback organically in class using these frameworks.
