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.

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.

Our Inquiry Unit - 4th Grade California: The Diverse Geography of California After student groups studied a particular region of California, they used their annotated articles to pull ideas/descriptive words to help them write a haiku about that region. We created an interactive bulletin board where students passing by in the hallway could guess what region was being described in the haiku and then check their answer by flipping the card. Students also created illustrations to go along with their answer.

After working through the modules, the children really wanted to show off their learning and take action in a hands on way. They were very eager to create something specifically about the people and places that make our school a great place to learn.

My students participated in a jigsaw activity where they explored various historical events connected to our state’s story. Each student became an “expert” on one event, then worked to explain why that event is important to include in the broader story of our state’s history. This module encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and pride in our local heritage. The students did a fantastic job making meaningful connections and expressing why these moments matter to our shared story!
